The United States Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service intends to award a sole source Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) Call to Agilent Technologies Inc. under FAR Part 12 procedures for annual service support of scientific instrumentation at the National Wildlife Research Center in Fort Collins, Colorado. This is not a competitive solicitation, but responsible sources may submit capability statements by May 21, 2026, to allow the government to determine whether competition is warranted. The agreement is structured as a firm-fixed-price contract with a one-year base period and four one-year option periods, totaling up to five years and a potential value of $593,779.25, with an annual base cost of $118,755.85. The contractor will provide on-site repair services within three business days of a service request using only original equipment manufacturer parts, alongside mandatory factory-recommended software and firmware updates for Agilent instrumentation, including Open Lab, MassHunter, and Mass Profiler software. Third-party service providers are prohibited as they void manufacturer warranties. There is no upper cost limit for repairs and no additional management approval is required to authorize any repair. The contract includes specific clauses related to whistleblower rights, anti-trafficking, electronic funds transfer, cybersecurity, and DEI compliance, with contractor personnel required to undergo Personal Identity Verification and comply with USDA security policies. Pricing will be evaluated for fairness and reasonableness under FAR 12.204, while technical approach and past performance will be assessed using adjectival ratings; award will be made to the highest technically rated offeror with acceptable or neutral past performance and a reasonable price, following a best-value selection process rather than LPTA. The contractor must maintain active SAM registration, submit a list of authorized personnel for site access, and certify compliance with federal anti-discrimination requirements and executive orders on diversity and inclusion. All submissions and inquiries must be directed via email to Latisha Hollman at the designated USDA email address.
