65 -- Continued Maintenance of Siemens Water System Laboratory Water Purification System/Polishers

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention plans to issue a sole source purchase order to Siemens Water Technologies for ongoing annual maintenance services of the laboratory water purification systems and polishers located in building 18 of the Roybal Building on the CDC main campus. These systems operate using an existing deionized water loop with Siemens DI resins, and CDC has determined that Siemens is the only provider capable of meeting the maintenance requirements. The procurement will proceed without competition under the authority of federal regulations FAR 6.302-1 and 6.302-2, affirming that only one responsible source exists to fulfill the agency’s needs. No solicitation will be issued for this procurement, and it is not set aside for small businesses. However, interested parties may express their interest and capability to respond to the requirement. For any contractual inquiries, Linda M. Young serves as the point of contact. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 339999, which covers miscellaneous manufacturing, and reflects CDC’s commitment to maintaining specialized water purification equipment crucial for laboratory operations.
