Preventative Maintenance Agilent Equipment

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) is soliciting quotes for annual preventative maintenance services on an Agilent G6495BA Triple Quadrupole LC/MS System located at their Silver Spring, Maryland facility. The procurement requires one preventative maintenance inspection during a 12-month base period, with four additional 12-month option periods available, and the contractor must follow Original Equipment Manufacturer specifications while providing comprehensive service reports and maintaining immediate access to Agilent-certified replacement parts. Vendors must demonstrate qualified personnel with Agilent training, provide detailed technical understanding of the equipment, and be capable of troubleshooting issues to maintain the instrument's performance, which is critical for FDA's regulatory science initiatives involving chemical characterization of medical device materials. The evaluation will be based on technical understanding and price, with non-price factors being approximately equal to price considerations. Quotes must be submitted in two separate volumes (technical limited to 10 pages and price) by July 11, 2025, with quotations remaining valid for 90 days.

This solicitation operates under full and open competition with no set-aside designations, falling under NAICS code 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) with a small business size standard of 1,000 employees. No incumbent contractors or specific award values are identified in the available documentation, though the pricing schedule template shows placeholder amounts of $0.00 for each contract period. The contract structure includes a base period extending through January 5, 2030, encompassing five total years of potential service when including all option periods. The maintenance services will be performed on-site at the FDA's White Oak Headquarters in Silver Spring, Maryland, specifically targeting the Agilent system with serial number SG1935D204. The government anticipates selecting the best-suited quoter from initial responses without extensive negotiations, emphasizing the importance of comprehensive initial submissions that demonstrate both technical capability and competitive pricing.
