The Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Environmental Protection Division issued a Request for Quotes (eRFQ) for Lab Instrument Maintenance Services under Solicitation No. 46200-DNR0000814 pursuant to the State Purchasing Act (O.C.G.A. 50-5-50 et seq.). This procurement sought to establish contracts with one or more qualified suppliers to provide comprehensive maintenance services for approximately 1,000 meters annually. The project was structured to award multiple one-year contracts with potential for annual renewal up to four times, though the state entity did not guarantee a minimum number of meter orders to any awarded supplier. Prospective bidders were required to register in TEAM GEORGIA MARKETPLACE to access the complete RFQ, attachments, and submit bids electronically. The solicitation closed on October 20, 2025, with a supplier question and answer response deadline of October 15, 2025. Evaluation criteria included administrative compliance, fulfillment of mandatory requirements, cost submissions, valid non-scrutinized company status, certificates of non-collusion, verification of suspension or debarment status on state and federal lists, eVerify requirements compliance, and passing a sales and use tax check with the Department of Revenue for contracts exceeding $100,000.

Pace Analytical Life Science LLC was selected as the successful offeror and awarded the contract with an estimated value of $192,339.70, as announced in the Notice of Intent to Award on October 28, 2025, and formalized in the Notice of Award on November 7, 2025. Two other bidders—Agilent Technologies Inc and Arcabel Solutions LLC—submitted timely proposals but were not selected as they did not submit the low bid in this RFQ process. All three responding suppliers demonstrated administrative compliance and met mandatory requirements. The documentation does not specify set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise restrictions, incumbent vendors, or specific technology integration requirements. All supplier protests regarding the award decision must be submitted electronically to doas.protests@doas.ga.gov in accordance with the Georgia Procurement Manual and state procurement regulations. The estimated contract amount of $192,339.70 represents an open agency contract wherein actual amounts may vary based on actual meter maintenance service demands throughout the contract term.
