About this opportunity

The USDA Agricultural Research Service is seeking laboratory sterilizer maintenance services for its Center for Grain and Animal Health Research facility in Manhattan, Kansas through RFQ 1232SA25Q0926. The contractor will provide preventative maintenance and calibration services for temperature and pressure sensors on two Getinge sterilizers, with specific requirements including providing an original equipment manufacturer-authorized repair technician, responding to telephone inquiries within 4 hours, and completing onsite service within 48 business hours. All contractor personnel must be escorted by USDA representatives while on location and must submit comprehensive calibration reports with supporting documentation. The contract will be evaluated using the Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable (LPTA) method, focusing on responsiveness, past performance, and compliance with solicitation requirements. The solicitation was posted on September 17, 2025, with Amendment 0001 issued on September 18, 2025, and quotes are due by September 23, 2025.

This procurement has no set-aside designation and is open to all qualified contractors under NAICS code 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance). The contract structure includes a base year from September 26, 2025 to September 25, 2026, with four additional option years extending through September 25, 2030. Service will be performed at the USDA facility located at 1515 College Avenue, Manhattan, Kansas 66502, with work scheduled to accommodate ongoing scientific research activities. The maintenance service specifically targets two pieces of equipment: a Getinge 5596-1R-L-USA model sterilizer and a Getinge T Edge 10 model sterilizer, though Amendment 0001 updated the equipment specifications to reference two Getinge Model 533LS autoclaves in Room 117. The contract follows firm fixed price terms with invoicing processed through the Department of Treasury's Invoice Processing Platform, and all shipping costs must be included in the contractor's pricing.
