About this file

Written by GovTribe AI ·

This document is a Single Source Determination using Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) for a one-year service agreement to support an Agilent Bioanalyzer 2100. The required services include virtual tech support, same-day remote repair, onsite repair visits, use of OEM parts, and annual preventative maintenance. The Department of Commerce, NOAA Acquisition and Grants Office, Western Acquisition Division, and Southwest Fisheries Science Center intend to award this requirement on a sole source basis to Agilent Technologies Inc. due to the need for certified technicians and consistent software updates that are not available through third-party vendors. The Government is not issuing a competitive solicitation but is requesting capability statements from interested sources by the due date to inform the final sole source determination.
