About this opportunity
The Special Notice announced the Department of Health and Human Services' National Institutes of Health National Cancer Institute's plans to sole source the procurement of maintenance services for six PerkinElmer IVIS Optical Imagers from PerkinElmer Health Sciences, Inc. The imaging systems are used to support research efforts of the National Cancer Institute's Center for Cancer Research.
The Special Notice sought to procure one-year of maintenance services with four optional one-year extensions from the original equipment manufacturer, PerkinElmer Health Sciences, Inc. Interested parties were notified and could submit proposals by May 16, 2022, however as a sole source procurement the agency retained discretion to make a non-competitive award. The maintenance services include preventative visits, emergency repairs, software updates and unlimited technical support requiring qualified and factory-trained personnel. Invoicing will be quarterly following electronic submission and approval of invoices. The proprietary nature of the specialized imaging equipment necessitates services only be provided by the original manufacturer to maintain system functionality for cancer research activities.
