The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Office of Research and Development is seeking to renew a service maintenance agreement for specialized scientific equipment, specifically an iCAP TQ Triple Quadrupole ICP-MS Spectrometer and a Teledyne CETAX ASX-280 Autosampler. This pre-solicitation notice indicates a sole source procurement for maintenance services covering the period from March 24, 2025, to March 23, 2026, with potential for three additional option years. The contract falls under the NAICS category 811210 for Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance, with a Product Service Code (PSC) of J066 for maintenance and repair of laboratory instruments. The opportunity was posted on February 18, 2025, with a response deadline of February 27, 2025. While specific evaluation criteria are not detailed in the pre-solicitation notice, the intent appears to be a direct renewal of existing maintenance services for critical research equipment.

The procurement does not have a specific set-aside designation, suggesting it is open to standard competitive or sole source procedures. The contract duration spans one base year with three potential option years, providing a potential total service period of four years. No specific award value or budget range is provided in the notice. The procurement is specifically for maintenance services for high-precision scientific instrumentation used in research applications. The sole source nature of the notice suggests there may be unique technical requirements or specific vendor capabilities that limit competitive bidding. The EPA's Office of Research and Development is likely seeking to maintain continuity of service and technical support for specialized laboratory equipment critical to ongoing scientific research activities.
