About this opportunity
The United States Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service (USDA ARS) is conducting a Sources Sought Notice for preventative maintenance services for specialized sterilization equipment at the Robert Holley Center in Ithaca, NY. Specifically, the agency is seeking a one-year service agreement to maintain two sterilizers: a 20in Cent GP SD 208V Cab Pwr Vertical DR Sterilizer and a Consolidated SSR-2A-PB Sterilizer. The contract will cover labor-only services, including scheduled preventative maintenance following manufacturer recommendations and unscheduled repair visits. This market research notice aims to identify potential qualified sources, with a particular interest in small businesses, including HUBZone, service-disabled veteran-owned, 8(a), veteran-owned, woman-owned, and small disadvantaged businesses. Responses must be submitted by December 24, 2024, at 09:00 AM EST to Rebecca Lumpkin via email, and must include a capability statement demonstrating ability to meet specific requirements such as comprehensive servicing, preventative maintenance, technical support, and on-site calibration.
The Sources Sought Notice does not have a specific set-aside designation at this time, as the government is using this research to determine the appropriate acquisition method. Respondents are required to specify whether they are a large or small business under NAICS code 811219 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance). The notice emphasizes that this is not a solicitation for proposals and does not constitute a commitment to award a contract. Potential contractors must provide their SAM.gov Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) and detailed information about their capability to service laboratory equipment. The contract will cover labor for preventative maintenance and repairs, with no parts included in the agreement. After reviewing responses, the USDA ARS may publish a Combined Synopsis solicitation notice on SAM.gov, and respondents are advised that the government will not compensate or reimburse any costs associated with preparing a response.
