About this file
This is a presolicitation notice for a sole source purchase order from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Acquisition & Grants Office, Eastern Acquisition Division-Norfolk.
NOAA intends to award a sole source purchase order to AB SCIEX LLC for SCIEX MS preventative maintenance and software updates to be delivered and performed at the NOS Hollings Marine Laboratory in Charleston, South Carolina. The period of performance spans from August 1, 2026, to July 31, 2027, with one additional option year available. The associated NAICS code is 811210, and no set-aside will be used for this procurement. The sole source determination is justified because AB SCIEX LLC is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and the only vendor authorized to provide preventative maintenance service and software updates on SCIEX MS instruments. The instrument control software is proprietary and copyrighted to AB SCIEX, covered under the Software Plus Plan, and SCIEX does not train, authorize, or certify third-party service providers for these services in the United States.
Firms that believe they can fully meet the government's requirements may submit substantiating documentation or request additional information in writing to the identified point of contact within 15 days after publication of this notice. Such submissions will be evaluated solely to determine whether the procurement should be conducted on a competitive basis. The government retains sole discretion in making this determination. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice, and no solicitation package is currently available.
