Bio-Rad Laboratories LIMITED

Bio-Rad Laboratories LIMITED is an international for-profit organization registered in SAM.gov, specializing in providing laboratory equipment maintenance services to federal agencies. As a subsidiary of Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., the company is a global leader in laboratory equipment, reagents, and services. The organization is primarily focused on delivering maintenance and technical support for sophisticated laboratory instrumentation, with a significant operational presence in Thailand, specifically supporting U.S. military medical research facilities.

The company has been awarded multiple federal contracts primarily from the Department of the Army and the Defense Health Agency, focusing on maintenance services for laboratory equipment. These contracts have included routine preventative maintenance and unscheduled repairs for specialized equipment such as QX200 DDPCR readers, CFX96 Touch RT-PCR systems, and T100 thermal cyclers. All of the company's federal contract awards have been issued without small business set-aside provisions, indicating they were competed on an open market basis. The contracts have ranged in value from approximately $5,496 to $40,100, with performance locations concentrated at facilities like the Armed Forces Research Institute of Medical Sciences (AFRIMS) in Bangkok, Thailand. Notably, one contract was specifically related to the acquisition of reporter virus particles on behalf of the CDC, demonstrating the company's versatility in supporting various federal health and research initiatives.

Bio-Rad Laboratories LIMITED holds a significant Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) with the Department of the Army Medical Command, valued at $230,000 with an ultimate completion date of April 11, 2028. This single-award BPA is designed to provide maintenance services for laboratory instruments at AFRIMS. Under this BPA, the company has already been issued three task orders totaling over $18,000 for multi-year maintenance on specific laboratory equipment. The BPA mechanism allows the government to efficiently procure recurring maintenance services from an established provider, enabling streamlined procurement of critical scientific support services. The contract demonstrates the company's strategic positioning in providing specialized, long-term technical support to federal research and medical institutions.
