About this opportunity
The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service has awarded a sole-source contract (140FS126P0203) to Life Technologies for a service agreement covering instrumentation maintenance and support, with an estimated annual cost of $92,009.89, on August 4, 2026.
The justification rests on Life Technologies holding proprietary rights to the instruments and being the sole qualified source capable of providing technical support and supplying necessary parts for continued equipment operation. The contractor's qualifications derive from proprietary manufacturing knowledge and factory-trained engineers who do not train external parties. No other capable sources exist to provide original parts or remote technical support, and no barriers to competition can be overcome due to Life Technologies' sole proprietorship of the equipment.
The service agreement includes on-site repair services, inspection and maintenance with a two business day response time, and yearly inspection and maintenance visits by a service engineer. Cost fairness was determined by analyzing historical contract awards (POs 140FS123P0243 and 140FS123P0324) and accounting for annual inflation and instrument consolidation. The acquisition falls under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold and is performed by the Conservation Genetics Lab at the Fish and Wildlife Service's Joint Administrative Operations. The justification was certified by Program/Project Officer Cara Lewis on June 11, 2026, and approved by Contracting Officer Oscar Orozco on August 3, 2026. NAICS 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance); PSC J066.
