About this opportunity
The United States Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service is seeking a preventative maintenance service contract for a Bruker SkyScan 1275 micro-CT scanner located at the Vegetable Crops Research facility in Madison, Wisconsin. The solicitation (Number 12505B25Q0076) is a request for quote (RFQ) for a firm fixed-price contract covering annual maintenance services. Potential contractors must be factory-trained engineers capable of performing system alignment, software upgrades, and x-ray leakage testing, with specific technical qualifications including certification of expertise on the specific micro-CT scanner model. The evaluation methodology will be lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA), meaning the lowest-priced quote that meets all technical specifications will be selected after a responsibility determination. Quotes must be submitted electronically to Tiffany Reval by March 19, 2025, and all respondents are required to be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM).
The contract is a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) with a small business size standard of 1,000 employees. The contract structure includes a base year from April 1, 2025, to March 31, 2026, with four additional option years, creating a potential five-year service agreement. The maintenance will support the micro-CT scanner used for non-destructive 3D modeling of fruit samples, which is critical to the Vegetable Crops Research unit's scientific work. All service technician travel expenses will be covered by the contractor, and the contract requires the provision of a one-year warranty extension. The place of performance is specifically the Vegetable Crops Research Unit at 1575 Linden Drive, Madison, Wisconsin 53706, with all invoices to be submitted electronically and funding contingent on availability.
