About this opportunity
The United States Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service is procuring a one-year service contract for preventive maintenance of Cytiva scientific equipment at the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility in Manhattan, Kansas. The contract covers maintenance services for three specific pieces of Cytiva equipment: two chromatographic units (Akta avant and Akta pure) and one surface plasmon resonance unit (Biacore S200). Contractors must provide comprehensive maintenance including equipment inspections, functional testing, part replacements, calibration verification, and detailed documentation during normal business hours (7:00 am - 5:00 pm, Monday-Friday). The evaluation will use a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) method, requiring offerors to submit a complete itemized price breakdown and a letter from Cytiva certifying their authorization to service Cytiva equipment. Quotes are due by September 3, 2025, at 12:00 PM Mountain Time, submitted electronically to amber.sampson@usda.gov, with an original deadline that was extended through Amendment 0001.
This solicitation initially included a small business set-aside designation but was amended to become unrestricted, opening the opportunity to all qualified contractors under NAICS code 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) with a size standard of 1,000 employees. The contract is structured as a firm fixed-price purchase order for a one-year period, though no specific budget range or award value is disclosed in the available documentation. All maintenance work will be performed at the PA National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility located at 1980 Denison Avenue, Manhattan, KS 66502, requiring contractors to adhere to facility safety and quality standards while working collaboratively with USDA personnel. Offerors must maintain active SAM.gov registration and meet all federal acquisition regulations, with invoicing processed through the Invoice Processing Platform (IPP) and past performance evaluated on an acceptable/unacceptable basis.
