About this opportunity

The National Cancer Institute (NCI), Office of Acquisitions has issued a Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source Contract for Requisition No. 26-006744. This Special Notice announces the NCI's intention to award a single-source purchase order to Carl Zeiss Microscopy, LLC for a Zeiss LSM 880 maintenance service agreement. The procurement is being conducted under the authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 13.106-1(b)(1), which permits sole-source acquisitions. The contract is being issued by the Department of Health and Human Services, specifically through the NCI's Centre of Cancer Research (CCR) Microscopy Core. The maintenance agreement is classified under NAICS Code 811310 (Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance) and PSC Code J066 (Maint/Repair/Rebuild Of Equipment – Instruments And Laboratory Equipment).

The objective of this acquisition is to secure maintenance and repair services for the CCR Microscopy Core's existing Zeiss LSM880 Airyscan super-resolution microscope to ensure it remains in optimal operating condition for cancer research applications. The contract period of performance is 12 months from award and will include repair and calibration services to support hundreds of NCI researchers conducting confocal and super-resolution imaging. Although this is a sole-source procurement, eligible contractors with active SAM.GOV registration may submit a capability statement for agency consideration by the February 17, 2026 deadline at 10:00 AM ET; however, submission does not obligate the government to convert this to a competitive solicitation. Written expressions of interest must be submitted exclusively via email to Ahmed Hassan (Ahmed.Hassan@HHS.gov) and Caran Fizer (Caran.Fizer@hhs.gov). Interested parties should note that only electronic documents submitted through email will be accepted for consideration.
