The Department of Health and Human Services Food and Drug Administration Office of Acquisition and Grant Services is seeking preventative maintenance and qualification (PM/OQ) services along with unlimited onsite corrective repairs for a Waters Acquity liquid chromatography and QDa mass spectrometry system. This pre-solicitation notice represents a sources sought inquiry to identify qualified contractors capable of maintaining and repairing sophisticated analytical laboratory equipment used by the FDA. The procurement falls under NAICS code 811210 for Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance and PSC code J066 for Maintenance/Repair/Rebuild of Equipment - Instruments and Laboratory Equipment. The government has attached a Sources Sought Notice document (75F40125SSN129640.pdf) that contains detailed specifications and requirements for the service contract. Interested parties have until July 8, 2025 to respond to this market research inquiry, with the notice posted on June 30, 2025.

This opportunity does not include any set-aside designations and is open to all qualified contractors regardless of business size or socioeconomic status. The notice does not identify any incumbent contractors currently providing these services or specify potential contract values or budget ranges for the maintenance and repair services. The scope includes both scheduled preventative maintenance and qualification services as well as unlimited corrective repair services, suggesting a comprehensive support arrangement for the specialized laboratory equipment. No specific contract duration or performance timeline details are provided in the basic notice information, though these specifications would likely be contained within the attached Sources Sought Notice document. The unlimited nature of the corrective repair services indicates the government is seeking a full-service maintenance solution rather than a limited repair contract.
