About this opportunity
The Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration, through the Office of Acquisition Management Services, is issuing a notice of intent to sole source an upgrade for an existing Leica Microsystems Stellaris 8 Falcon Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging (FLIM) microscope at the National Eye Institute Biological Imaging Core. The specific procurement involves installing a Power Hybrid Detector HyD X SP in position 5 of the existing confocal microscope to enable SpectraPlex multiplexing capabilities. The agency has identified Leica Microsystems, Inc. as the only responsible source capable of performing this specialized upgrade under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). The contract falls under NAICS code 811210 for Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance. Interested parties must submit capability statements by September 25, 2025, at 10:00 AM EST to Chantal.cornelius@hhs.gov, though the government retains discretion to determine whether to proceed with competitive procurement based on responses received.
This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and is open to all eligible contractors. Leica Microsystems, Inc. has been pre-identified as the intended sole source contractor due to their proprietary technology and exclusive capability to upgrade the existing equipment. While specific contract values are not disclosed in the notice, the scope involves a single detector installation with associated integration services. The period of performance is established at no later than 120 days after contract award. The procurement is classified under PSC code J066 for maintenance, repair, and rebuild of instruments and laboratory equipment. The extremely short response window of only two days suggests the agency's strong preference for proceeding with the sole source approach unless compelling alternatives are presented.
