About this file

This is a Statement of Work for instrument maintenance services covering an IncuCyte SX5 live imaging system operated by the National Institutes of Health's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Laboratory of Viral Diseases. The contract provides a one-year Preventive Service Plan for serial number IC70052, with a performance period from May 1, 2026 through April 30, 2027. The contractor must deliver an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) certified technician to perform one preventive maintenance inspection during the contract period, provide full coverage for repairs including OEM parts, labor, and travel expenses, prioritize warranty units for repair over non-warranty units, and supply software upgrades as released. The instrument is located at the National Institutes of Health, Building 33 Room 3W20, in Bethesda, Maryland.

The contractor is required to respond promptly to all service requests with repairs completed within 24 hours and must provide documentation of all service visits listing any new parts supplied. Payment shall be invoiced by the vendor and disbursed by the NIH in full before the contract start date. OEM service technicians must be accompanied by an LVD member at all times due to Building 33 security requirements. The government will provide access to the instrument and escorts from the front guard desk. Acceptance is determined by the LVD's independent verification that the instrumentation functions properly and that service requests have been resolved satisfactorily, with additional service support requested if deficiencies are identified.

Statement of Work

Instrument Maintenance Service IncuCyte SX5

A. BACKGROUND INFORMATION

The Laboratory of Viral Diseases (LVD) carries out investigations of the molecular biology of viruses, the interactions of viruses with host cells, the pathogenesis of viral diseases, and host defence mechanisms. These studies are designed to increase fundamental knowledge and facilitate the development of new approaches to the prevention of treatment of disease. The goals of the Laboratory of Viral Diseases (LVD) are to determine the mechanisms used by viruses to infect cells, express and replicate their genomes, assemble infectious particles, and evade the host immune response.

Basic information obtained from these studies is used to design antiviral agents and live and subunit recombinant vaccines. The LVD has a major program of research on the biology of poxviruses and the use of poxviruses to make recombinant vaccines. This work has direct importance for biodefense in view of the great similarity between vaccinia virus and variola virus, the agent that causes smallpox. Much of the research performed at the LVD utilizes the use of live imaging systems for collection of data from samples, and software analysis of that data.

B. PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES OF THE PROCUREMENT

The purpose of this contract (Preventive Service Plan for serial # IC70052) is to provide coverage for parts and service for any required maintenance of the IncuCyte SX5 during the one-year period of performance specified in the order.

C. CONTRACTOR REQUIREMENTS

The contractor will be expected to deliver:

• (OEM) certified technician that will perform 1 (one) Preventive Maintenance (PM) inspections during the period of performance.
