About this opportunity
The Food and Drug Administration's National Center for Toxicological Research (NCTR) seeks a service contract for annual on-site preventative maintenance of specialized laboratory equipment including a Vitrocell V10 type S robot and two 12/12 Exposure Module systems. This maintenance contract is critical for supporting ongoing toxicological research, specifically a study evaluating the toxicity of ortho-phthaldehyde aerosols in human air-liquid-interface airway tissue models. The contract requires OEM-certified technicians to perform one annual on-site preventative maintenance visit, provide unlimited technical support within 8 business hours, and deliver comprehensive service reporting. The procurement falls under NAICS code 811210 for Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance, targeting small business manufacturers or service providers with capabilities in maintaining sophisticated toxicological research instrumentation. Interested parties must submit capability statements by August 21, 2025, at 13:00 Central Time to david.kramer@fda.hhs.gov.

The small business size standard for this NAICS category is $34 million, indicating the scope and scale expectations for potential contractors. The maintenance services are essential for ensuring uninterrupted operation of heavily used laboratory equipment that provides critical data for ongoing FDA research initiatives. No incumbent contractor or current service provider is identified in the pre-solicitation documentation, and specific award values or budget ranges have not been disclosed at this market research phase.
