About this opportunity

The National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS), part of the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health, is seeking installation services for NMR console and peripheral equipment for a Bruker 400 MHz Avance NEO Ascend NMR System. This is a non-competitive sole source procurement specifically targeting Bruker Biospin, Inc., as the system requires proprietary expertise and a Bruker field service engineer to ensure proper installation while preserving equipment warranties. The installation will take place in the recently renovated Analytical Chemistry Core (ACC) CLL NMR Lab, where the equipment is critical for research purposes including complex molecular analysis, structure validation, purity assessment, and protein-ligand binding studies. This pre-solicitation notice serves as a Notice of Intent to award without full or open competition, including brand-name justification. Responses to this notice are due by August 20, 2025, at 2:00 PM EST, with electronic submissions required through the primary point of contact, Andrew Varley at Andrew.Varley@nih.gov.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and is open to full competition within the scope of the sole source justification for Bruker Biospin, Inc. The solicitation number is 75N95025Q00242, and delivery is scheduled to occur within 60 days after contract award. The contract falls under NAICS code 811210 for Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance, and PSC code J066 for Maintenance/Repair/Rebuild of Equipment- Instruments and Laboratory Equipment. While specific contract values are not disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice, the procurement involves the installation of sophisticated scientific instrumentation that supports critical research operations. The timeline is relatively compressed, with only six days between the notice posting date of August 14, 2025, and the response deadline of August 20, 2025.
