AGO461700 LCUVMS Service and Consumables

The Ohio Attorney General's Office (AGO), specifically the Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) Laboratory Division, is soliciting quotes for preventive maintenance and service of Shimadzu liquid chromatography-UV-mass spectrometry (LC-UV-MS) instruments across three laboratory locations in Bowling Green, London, and Richfield, Ohio. The Request for Quotations (RFQ) seeks a vendor to provide comprehensive maintenance services for six workstations, including annual preventive maintenance visits, on-demand repair services, software updates, and component replacements. Vendors must utilize Shimadzu Certified Field Service Engineers and provide all necessary parts, labor, shipping, and travel. The contract will initially run from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2027, with options to renew for two additional two-year terms through June 30, 2031. Prospective vendors must demonstrate a minimum of five years of experience in Shimadzu LC-UV-MS instrument maintenance, provide two client references, and submit a capability statement detailing their qualifications. The RFQ was issued on May 15, 2025, with an inquiry deadline of May 22, 2025, and quotes are due by June 9, 2025, at 11:00 A.M. Eastern Time. The AGO will award the contract to the lowest-priced responsible and responsive submission, with a required service response time of no more than 48 hours.

The RFQ does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. There is no indication of incumbent vendors or current contractors in the provided documentation. The solicitation appears to be open to qualified vendors with demonstrated expertise in Shimadzu LC-UV-MS instrument maintenance. While a specific budget range is not disclosed, the scope of work involves service and maintenance for six workstations across three laboratory locations, suggesting a potential contract value that would reflect comprehensive maintenance services over a two-year initial term. The contract includes options for two additional two-year renewals, which could potentially extend the total contract period to five years. Interested vendors will need to carefully review the full RFQ documentation to understand the complete scope of requirements, including technical specifications, service expectations, and submission guidelines. Potential bidders should pay close attention to the qualification requirements, particularly the five-year experience minimum and the need for Shimadzu Certified Field Service Engineers.
