About this opportunity
The Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA) is pursuing a sole source procurement for three AMSCO 250 LS small steam autoclaves from STERIS Corporation, located in Thurston County. The contract encompasses equipment procurement, removal of existing non-functional autoclaves, complete installation, calibration, accreditation services, comprehensive warranty, and two years of service and maintenance for the WSDA microbiology laboratory in Tumwater, WA. Vendors were given ten working days from January 10, 2025, to submit capability statements demonstrating their ability to service AMSCO 250 LS steam sterilizers, fulfill three separate accreditation requirements (IQ, OQ, PQ), and provide on-site service within 24 hours at the Tumwater facility. The contract is critically aligned with federal cooperative agreements from the FDA and USDA, which mandate specific accreditation standards and rapid repair response times. The initial contract term is two years, with three optional one-year extensions available, and the contract is scheduled to begin on or after February 3, 2025.
The procurement appears to be unrestricted, with no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises mentioned in the documentation. STERIS Corporation was determined to be the sole source provider due to their unique manufacturing expertise, comprehensive service capabilities, and ability to meet stringent 24-hour response time requirements. Market research, including review of statewide contract #20722, confirmed no alternative vendors could provide the complete package of manufacturing, installation, maintenance, accreditation, and rapid service required by the WSDA. The initial two-year contract is valued at $379,062.75, with comparable or slightly increasing costs anticipated for potential one-year extensions. The procurement represents cost savings of approximately $70,000 through bundled services, and supports maintaining federal cooperative agreements valued between $500,000 to $1 million annually. Existing infrastructure includes the current microbiology laboratory in Tumwater, where the autoclaves will be installed and serviced.
