The Defense Health Agency, specifically the United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) at Fort Detrick, Maryland, is conducting market research for preventative maintenance and repair services of sterilization and central vacuum equipment in Biosafety Labs (BSL) 1, 2, 3, and 4. Qualified contractors must demonstrate comprehensive knowledge of medical research laboratory standards including NFPA, CDC, and NIH regulations, hold U.S. citizenship, and successfully complete a Secret-level security background investigation while enrolling in the Biological Personnel Reliability Program (BPRP). Respondents must submit electronic capability statements not exceeding 5 pages by December 12, 2025 at 1:00 PM Eastern Time to Christina Lewis and Emily O'Hara, and must be registered in SAM.gov under NAICS code 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance). The evaluation will assess technical data demonstrating how potential contractors can meet the Minimum Essential Characteristics (MECs) for the scope of work. This is a Request for Information (RFI) issued solely for market research and planning purposes; no contract will be awarded from this announcement, no evaluation letters will be provided, and respondents bear all costs associated with preparing their submissions.
This pre-solicitation notice does not use any set-aside designations and no incumbent contractor or award value information has been disclosed. The scope of work encompasses maintenance and repair of 63 Getinge USA sterilizers, 3 cage washing units, 9 glassware washing units, and 3 tunnel washing units, along with associated water treatment systems and specialized double-door systems featuring proprietary Slideloc door assemblies. Service requirements include on-site equipment repair, overhauling, inspection, and refurbishment, with mandatory bacteriological indicator testing after each maintenance session and routine calibration of all test equipment. Contractor personnel will also assist USAMRIID's facilities management with water usage evaluation and utility system maintenance. A formal solicitation is expected to be announced separately following the completion of this market research phase.
