About this opportunity
The FDA's Office of Acquisition and Grant Services issued a notice of intent on September 18, 2026 to incorporate non-MAS (open market) items exceeding $20,000 into a GSA Federal Supply Schedule order, with inquiries due by September 23, 2026 at 12:00 PM Central time. This notice is published for transparency under FAR 5.101(a) and does not constitute a competitive solicitation.
The FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research requires one Evident Scientific FV5000 advanced Laser Scanning Confocal Microscope Imaging System with peripherals on a brand name or equal basis through GSA MAS Schedule SIN 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing, PSC 6640). The target awardee is Government Scientific Source under solicitation FDA-GSA-RFQ-136202. Forty-two peripheral components and services—including optical components, software licenses, workstations, environmental control systems, installation services, and specialized shipping logistics—are designated as incidental non-MAS items totaling $188,603.79. The Contracting Officer certifies that all non-MAS items are ancillary to the primary microscope hardware. Prior to final delivery order execution, non-MAS component pricing will be evaluated for fair and reasonableness using published commercial price lists and independent market research. Consolidation within the primary GSA vehicle provides logistical and cost-savings benefits while ensuring system compatibility and reducing contract administration overhead. Direct inquiries to Contracting Officer Suzanne Martella at suzanne.martella@fda.hhs.gov.
