About this opportunity
The Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is seeking an annual preventative maintenance service agreement for diagnostic equipment at the Dorado Lab in Puerto Rico. The scope of work includes onsite technician visits, inspection and replacement of worn or broken equipment parts, and customer service support to address instrument issues that cause work delays or stoppages. The contract covers 25 pieces of diagnostic equipment including plate washers, readers, centrifuges, freezers, incubators, biosafety cabinets, and PCR workstations from manufacturers such as Bio Tek, Sorvall, Kingfisher, and Thermo Fisher. This is a simplified acquisition using non-competitive procurement procedures under FAR 12.102(a). The response deadline is February 5, 2026, with an anticipated award date of February 6, 2026.
This procurement carries no set-aside designation and identifies BioAnalytical Instruments (UEI: W5KQZVDTKVK6) as the intended sole source contractor based on market research determining it is the only source in the Puerto Rico area capable of providing warranty maintenance and calibration services with certified technicians. The justification for sole source procurement emphasizes that the equipment has been standardized as NVSL's testing and extraction platforms, staff are trained exclusively on this specific equipment, and the instruments are operationally deployed in Puerto Rico for African Swine Fever outbreak response with validated test assays. However, the notice explicitly states that all responsible sources may submit responses which will be considered by the agency. No specific contract value or budget range is disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice, and the service agreement is structured as an annual preventative maintenance contract.
