Abbott ASPS SMPL PUR KIT m2000 Realtime PCR Platform

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Office of Acquisition Services intends to award a sole source, firm-fixed-price purchase order to Abbott Molecular for maintenance and support services of m2000 Realtime PCR Platforms used by CDC's International Laboratory Branch. The procurement includes preventive and corrective maintenance, OEM software and firmware updates, quality assurance, technical support from certified personnel, and replacement parts and accessories as needed for the specialized laboratory equipment. Abbott Molecular is being designated as the only acceptable source due to its status as the original equipment manufacturer with exclusive access to proprietary components, diagnostics, and service infrastructure necessary to maintain the systems according to manufacturer specifications. The requirement is considered high-risk public trust sensitive and will be processed under Simplified Acquisition Procedures, with the anticipated award valued below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. While this is not a competitive solicitation, responsible sources believing they can meet the government's requirements may submit capability statements demonstrating their ability to perform the required services and their OEM authorization by the August 14, 2025 deadline.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and specifically identifies Abbott Molecular, located at 1300 E. Touhy Ave., Des Plaines, Illinois 60018, as the intended sole source contractor. The contract value falls below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, indicating it is under $250,000, and covers a one-year performance period from August 31, 2025 to August 30, 2026. The scope includes 13 line items of laboratory consumables and reagents such as sample purification kits, HIV testing reagents, tips, vessels, and plates, with all supplies requiring a minimum 12-month shelf life upon delivery. Performance will take place at CDC's Roybal Campus in Atlanta, Georgia, with all supplies to be delivered within 30 days of contract award. The contractor will be responsible for all associated costs including travel, shipping, and service engineer expenses for both remote and on-site technical support services.
