The notice specifically targets a service contract for two Firefly Genomics-6 head liquid handlers systems with SPT Labtech Limited. This pre-solicitation notice, posted on November 27, 2024, falls under NAICS code 811210 for Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance. The procurement will be conducted under the statutory authority of 41 U.S.C. 1901(a)(1), which allows for acquisition from only one responsible source that can satisfy agency requirements. The notice emphasizes that this is not a request for proposal, but rather an intent to negotiate a specific service agreement.
Contractors interested in this opportunity must submit a capability statement and documentation of their agreement with the manufacturer to service SPT Labtech Limited equipment through the NIAID electronic Simplified Acquisition Submission System (eSASS) by 10:00 am on December 9, 2024. The service agreement includes comprehensive requirements such as one preventative maintenance inspection per year, full coverage for parts and labor, unlimited remote technical support, and a two-business-day onsite response target. Eligible vendors must provide OEM parts, documentation of OEM-trained technicians, and priority scheduling for repairs, with billing to be conducted monthly or quarterly in arrears. The place of performance will be in Bethesda, MD 20892. All vendors must register in the eSASS system to submit documentation, and the government retains sole discretion to determine whether to compete the requirement based on responses received. The notice specifically invites all responsible sources that could provide this service to submit their capabilities for consideration.
