About this opportunity
The Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service is soliciting yearly service and maintenance for an LGC Genomics oKtopure DNA isolation robotic instrument, with quotations due September 21, 2026. This is an unrestricted commercial-item acquisition under FAR Part 12 with no set-aside applied, though HUBZone small business firms receive a price evaluation preference.
Place of performance is Raleigh, North Carolina. The instrument processes 800–1,600 DNA samples daily for the USDA Agricultural Research Service Plant Science Research Unit. The contractor must provide comprehensive preventative maintenance including inspection, re-assembly and calibration of the 96-channel Dispense Head, software upgrades to current production status, and replacement of failed or defective components, with unlimited service visits and all labor and travel expenses included in the contract price. The coverage period runs September 30, 2026 through September 30, 2027, with two one-year option periods available, for a potential three-year term.
The procurement is structured as firm-fixed-price. NAICS codes are 811210 and 811219 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance), with a small business size standard of $6.5 million. Service Contract Labor Standards apply; the Instrument Mechanic wage rate is $31.61 per hour. Evaluation uses best-value criteria: Technical Approach (60% weight, demonstrating ability to meet schedule and SOW compliance), Price (fair and reasonableness), and Past Performance (Acceptable, Neutral, or Unacceptable ratings). Offerors must submit pricing for the base year and both option years to be considered responsive and must be registered in SAM.gov at quote submission. Vendors must provide complete maintenance using original manufacturer parts; the government will not facilitate contractor-subcontractor agreements. Questions were due September 17 at 12:00 PM Eastern Time. Amendment 0001 posted vendor questions and answers on September 17.
