About this opportunity
This Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases within the Department of Health and Human Services was to award a sole source contract for maintenance and repair services for various microscope models manufactured by Leica Microsystems Inc. Due to the specialized technical expertise and access to original equipment manufacturer parts required, only Leica was qualified to provide the services to maintain operability of the microscopes, which are critical to research efforts. Market research found no other capable suppliers. The justification was approved and contract number 75N93022P00375 for an unknown value was awarded on February 18, 2022 to an unknown vendor to provide these sole source microscope servicing and repair services for one year.
Notice text
The Division of Intramural Research (DIR), Research Technologies Branch (RTB) (collectively “Program”) requires a service plan for various instruments/equipment (e.g., microscopes) manufactured by Leica Microsystems Inc. (“Leica” or “the vendor”). These instruments are able to obtain high resolution optical images with depth selectivity. These Leica instruments are constantly in use, and if they were disabled due to lack of maintenance or mechanical failure then the ability of the investigators in the DIR to conduct their research would be severely handicapped. To this end, the DIR requires a service agreement in place in the event an instrument should fail. Instrument downtime has a significant, adverse impact on research that must be reduced as much as possible. These instruments are critical to RTB research efforts and must be maintained at a high standard operability which requires preventative maintenance, calibrations, parts replacement, and software updates. Labor must be exclusively provided by OEM Leica Microsystem or officially authorized Leica Microsystems sources. Labor must show compliance with the NOI's Bill of Materials specifications (ie. PremiumCare service).
Awarded contract 75N93022P00375 to unknown vendor for unknown amount on 2022-02-18.
