NICHD: Service: PacBio Sequel II Service Agreement

The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development intends to award a purchase order to provide a one-year PacBio Sequel II service agreement from January 12, 2024 through January 11, 2025. The service agreement is required to maintain the sophisticated sequencing machine and includes parts, labor, consumables for repairs and planned maintenance with remote support enabled. Interested parties may submit a response by December 5, 2023 to identify their capability to provide the required service agreement, including pricing, delivery, and small business size standard information. The incumbent contractor is Pacific Biosciences as they are the sole provider of service for their proprietary equipment.

There is no set-aside designation for this requirement. Pacific Biosciences is identified as the potential incumbent, as they are the sole provider of service for the PacBio Sequel II sequencing machine. The service agreement is for a one-year period to maintain the single PacBio Sequel II unit currently in use at the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development.
