Biological Safety Cabinet, Small Animal Isolator, and Chemical Fume Hood Services

The United States Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, through the National Veterinary Services Laboratories, is seeking contractors to provide maintenance, repair, and servicing for Biological Safety Cabinets, HEPA Filtered Small Animal Isolators, and Chemical Fume Hood equipment. The agency plans to award a single Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity commercial services contract that will utilize both Firm-Fixed-Price and Time & Materials task orders for different service requirements. This pre-solicitation notice indicates that a formal solicitation will be released following this announcement, with potential contractors responsible for monitoring www.sam.gov for the full solicitation and any subsequent amendments. The work falls under NAICS code 541380 for Testing Laboratories and Services and PSC code J066 for maintenance, repair, and rebuilding of instruments and laboratory equipment. Contractors must submit their quotes to the contracting activity by the date and time specified in the forthcoming request for quote.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting participation to qualified small business concerns. The notice was posted on August 15, 2025, with the same date listed as the due date, though this likely refers to the pre-solicitation notice timeline rather than the actual proposal submission deadline. No incumbent contractors or current service providers are identified in this pre-solicitation notice. The contract structure as an IDIQ arrangement suggests that specific task order values and quantities will be determined as needs arise throughout the contract performance period, though no specific budget ranges or award values are disclosed at this pre-solicitation stage. The indefinite delivery and indefinite quantity nature of the contract indicates that the government expects ongoing, variable service requirements for laboratory equipment maintenance across multiple facilities or timeframes.
