Tecan equipment maintenance agreement

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Division of Laboratory Sciences is seeking a service agreement for preventative and remedial maintenance of Tecan liquid handling equipment and components that are no longer covered by manufacturer warranties. The primary objective is to ensure pipetting accuracy and precision while maintaining continuous compliance with Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) and International Organization for Standardization (ISO) regulations. This procurement is being conducted as a sole source award under FAR 13.106-1(b) and 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), meaning the government intends to negotiate with only one source. Interested parties may submit responses demonstrating their capability and interest in the requirement by December 11, 2025, at 3:00 PM ET to the contract specialist at zwh7@cdc.gov. While this is not a competitive solicitation, all responses received by the deadline will be considered, and the government retains sole discretion to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement based on the responses received.

This procurement carries no set-aside designation and represents a sole source award intended for Tecan US, Inc., the original equipment manufacturer. The contract is structured as a firm fixed price purchase order with a period of performance spanning five years, from March 8, 2026, through March 7, 2031. The specific award value or budget range has not been disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice. This requirement falls under NAICS code 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance) and PSC code J066 (Maint/Repair/Rebuild of Equipment—Instruments and Laboratory Equipment), reflecting the specialized nature of the laboratory equipment maintenance services being sought.
