QPIX 420 Molecular Devices 1 Year PM Service

The Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service seeks one year of preventative maintenance services for a QPIX 420 Molecular Devices instrument, with proposals due September 4, 2026, and questions due September 3.

Place of performance is Albany, California at the Western Regional Research Center's Foodborne Toxin Detection and Prevention Research Unit. The contractor must arrive on-site within 60 days of award for a pre-inspection assessment and provide one preventative maintenance visit during the 12-month service period, including on-site inspection, relevant parts, labor, technical support, and priority response. The contractor must be a QPIX 420 specialty technician and coordinate all visits during weekday business hours (8 a.m. to 5 p.m.) with escorted access required. All travel costs must be included in the quote. If the service is not purchased directly from Molecular Devices, the supplying vendor must be authorized by the manufacturer and provide a manufacturer-recognized support package that includes warranty coverage, annual preventative maintenance, labor, travel, technical support, and priority response.

The NAICS code is 811210, Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance, with a small business size standard of $34 million. PSC is J066.

Offerors must provide complete pricing for all line items, hold pricing firm for 90 calendar days, acknowledge all solicitation amendments, and submit technical approach documentation and past performance references.
