About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA) has issued a Special Notice on behalf of the Defense Health Agency (DHA), specifically for the Armed Forces Medical Examiner System (AFMES) and Division of Forensic Toxicology (DFT) located at Dover Air Force Base. The notice announces the intent to negotiate a sole source maintenance services contract with AB Sciex LLC for laboratory equipment maintenance. This procurement is being conducted under simplified acquisition procedures with FAR 13.501(a)(1)(i) authority, which allows for sole source procurement when only one source is reasonably available. The contract will cover maintenance services for designated AB Sciex laboratory equipment, with AB Sciex LLC recognized as the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and the only qualified provider of these specialized maintenance services.
The primary objective of this Special Notice is to secure a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) maintenance contract that includes preventative maintenance, inspections, calibrations, and repair tasks for laboratory equipment. Interested parties must submit technical data and cost information demonstrating their capability to provide equivalent services by 4:00 PM Local ET on March 28, 2025, to Brian Miller via email. The contract will be classified under NAICS 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance) and is not subject to any set-aside restrictions. While this is not a competitive solicitation, the government will review any capability statements received and retain sole discretion in determining whether to pursue a competitive procurement. The maintenance services must ensure that the equipment is maintained to OEM specifications, keeping instruments in like-new or better condition. The number of equipment covered may fluctuate throughout the contract term due to potential removal of aged equipment or addition of new inventory.
Notice text
This notice announces the intent by the U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA) in support of the Defense Health Agency (DHA), Armed Forces Medical Examiner System (AFMES), and Division of Forensic Toxicology (DFT) located at Dover Air Force Base to negotiate on a sole source basis (IAW FAR 13.501) with AB Sciex LLC.

The Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Maintenance includes regularly scheduled preventative maintenance, inspections, calibrations, and corrective/repair maintenance tasks. The aggregate number of equipment covered under the contract shall fluctuate throughout the term of the contract. This fluctuation may result from the removal of aged, non-repairable, past service life, or past useful life equipment from the service contract, and the addition of new, warranty free equipment or equipment currently on inventory.
AB Sciex LLC is the OEM and the only company that can provide the required maintenance services, while ensuring the instrument’s performance, calibration, and functionality are not compromised. The equipment must be maintained within the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications, in like new or better condition.
