About this opportunity
The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), Office of Acquisitions intends to award a sole source purchase order to Aquaneering LLC to provide a preventative maintenance service agreement for the aquatic life support systems used in NICHD's zebrafish facility. The required services include quarterly preventive maintenance visits, annual service visits, and emergency visits to maintain the life support equipment that supports hundreds of thousands of fish used in millions of dollars' worth of research. The Period of Performance is January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025, with three one-year option periods. The sole source justification is based on Aquaneering LLC's local service network and extensive experience maintaining the specialized equipment. Interested parties may submit capability statements by November 22, 2024, but the Government reserves the right to proceed on a non-competitive basis. The acquisition will be conducted under FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures.
This opportunity is not set-aside for any small business category. Aquaneering LLC is the incumbent contractor and has been providing these services. The purchase order is expected to have a value that would be considered a simplified acquisition, but no specific budget range is provided. The systems being maintained support a significant research program using hundreds of thousands of fish.
