About this opportunity

The National Institutes of Health's Office of Acquisitions has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to negotiate a sole source contract with Life Technologies Corporation for laboratory equipment and supplies. The procurement covers a comprehensive set of laboratory equipment including a QS3 0.2ML QPCR System, Dell laptop computer with specific minimum specifications, various laboratory plates and kits, optical adhesive covers, and MicroAmp Optical 96-Well Reaction Plates. The notice falls under NAICS code 334516 for Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing and PSC code 6640 for Laboratory Equipment and Supplies. The NIH Supply Center is conducting this acquisition on behalf of the agency, with the place of performance being NIH facilities. The procurement is structured under FAR 13.106-1(b) authority, which allows for sole source negotiations with a single supplier.

The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to provide other potential suppliers an opportunity to demonstrate their capability to meet the NIH's requirements before the agency proceeds with the sole source award to Life Technologies Corporation. Interested contractors must submit capability statements by July 14, 2025, at 10:00 A.M. to Alice Zetina, Contract Specialist, referencing notice number NIH-OLAO-OA3-NOI-7.9.25. The government anticipates issuing an award approximately five days after the notice date unless another supplier demonstrates the capability to meet the requirements. Responses will be evaluated using the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) method, and contractors are specifically instructed not to include any proprietary, classified, confidential, or sensitive information in their submissions. The government reserves the right to determine whether to compete the procurement based on received responses, with any resulting solicitation to be announced publicly on SAM.gov in accordance with FAR Part 5.
