About this opportunity

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), a component of the Department of Health and Human Services, has issued a Limited / Sole Source Justification Notice for a 12-month service contract with Becton, Dickson, and Company to maintain critical laboratory equipment. The contract, valued at $372,510.36 and covering the period from 04/22/2025 to 04/21/2026, involves servicing seven BD flow cytometers, two high throughput samplers, three flow supply systems, and thirty-four BD lasers used in immunology research. The sole source justification stems from BD being the only authorized vendor capable of providing specialized maintenance for these precise instruments, with their engineers possessing the most up-to-date technical knowledge and access to original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts. Using alternative service providers could potentially compromise research data integrity and disrupt ongoing scientific experiments. The contract is critical for maintaining the continuous operation of these instruments, which are used daily in the Flow Cytometry Section of the Research Technologies Branch and are essential for conducting complex immunological research.

Notice text
