About this opportunity

The National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS), part of the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health, intends to procure installation services for NMR consoles and peripheral equipment for Agilent NMR400, 400-MR, and 600 MHz DD2 NMR systems in their recently renovated CLL NMR Lab. This pre-solicitation notice (75N95025Q00241) indicates NCATS plans to negotiate directly with Agilent Technologies on a sole source basis, justifying this approach based on the need for proprietary installation that preserves warranties and ensures proper setup of the specialized scientific equipment. The procurement falls under NAICS code 811210 for Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance and requires an Agilent service engineer to unpack and install the NMR components. While the government intends sole source procurement, interested parties may submit capability statements for consideration. All responses must be submitted electronically to Andrew Varley at Andrew.Varley@nih.gov by August 20, 2025, at 12:00 pm EST, and all offerors must maintain active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM).

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and is open to full and open competition, though NCATS has expressed intent to award to Agilent Technologies as the incumbent provider. The NAICS code 811210 carries a size standard of $34 million, indicating the scale of businesses eligible to compete for this type of work. The contract requires delivery within 45 days after award, demonstrating the government's need for prompt installation services. Offerors must include specific pricing details in their responses, including unit prices and shipping costs, along with business size certification documentation. The procurement focuses on maintenance and repair services for precision laboratory equipment, reflecting the specialized nature of the NMR systems requiring expert installation and setup.
