About this opportunity
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases intends to negotiate a one-year service contract with Leica Microsystems Inc. for preventative maintenance, repairs, software upgrades, and 24/7 support for a Leica-manufactured Aperio AT2 slide scanning system. The contract would run from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024. To be considered, other contractors must demonstrate the ability to provide priority on-site service with guaranteed OEM parts and priority partnership status with Leica Microsystems. Capability statements must be submitted by November 5, 2023.
The pre-solicitation notice does not specify any set-aside designations. The requirement is for a one-year service contract for one Aperio AT2 slide scanning system located at Building 50 of the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland. As the incumbent, Leica Microsystems would be negotiated with on a sole-source basis due to their priority service relationship as the OEM. The statutory authority cited allows for other than full and open competition when only one responsible source can meet the agency's requirements.
