The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a division of the Department of Health and Human Services, has issued a Notice of Intent to award a sole source firm fixed price purchase order to Biolytic Lab Performance INC. The notice, posted on January 6, 2026, indicates the CDC's intention to contract with only one vendor for maintenance and upkeep services of Dr. Oligo 48 Medium Throughput DNA Synthesizers.

The sole source procurement addresses the CDC's critical need for specialized maintenance services on proprietary laboratory equipment that supports both standard operations and public health emergency response. Eligible contractors must employ trained service engineers with a minimum of 10 to 15 years of field service experience on the Dr. Oligo 48 instrument, access to proprietary maintenance codes, and the capability to source genuine OEM parts. The vendor selected will be required to maintain a 24 to 48-hour service response time and provide one preventive maintenance visit per the service agreement contract.

The government has established a 15-day response window for interested parties to demonstrate their qualifications, with the final determination to compete or proceed with the sole source award remaining at the government's discretion.
