This solicitation, issued under FAR Part 12 as a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items, seeks a one-year service plan for the MACSQuant Tyto Cell Sorter at the USDA-ARS Animal Disease Research Unit in Pullman, Washington. The requirement has been consolidated into a single service plan covering technical support, preventive maintenance with an annual on-site visit, timely repair services with defined response times, and software updates, eliminating all previously proposed option periods. The quote submission deadline has been extended to June 4, 2026, and offerors must submit their proposals electronically via email in Adobe PDF format to the designated points of contact, ensuring inclusion of a completed Quote Submission Form, SAM registration verification, and acknowledgment of all amendments. The award will follow a best-value tradeoff approach under FAR 12.203, prioritizing technical capability first, followed by past performance and price, with no numerical weights assigned and no lowest-price technically acceptable (LPTA) method applied. Offerors must comply with multiple FAR and AGAR clauses, including those related to service contract labor standards, paid sick leave, combating trafficking, equal opportunity, anti-discrimination, and DEI compliance, with certification required under 452.203-70 and 452.203-71, which condition payment on adherence to federal anti-discrimination mandates. The contract incorporates the 2015-5559 wage determination for Whitman, WA, and requires payment exclusively through the Invoice Processing Platform, with no alternative invoicing systems permitted. The North American Industry Classification System code is 811210 with a $34 million small business size standard, and the requirement is unrestricted. Offerors must possess a valid Unique Entity Identifier and CAGE code, and while no specific packaging, marking, or FOB terms are prescribed, all performance and acceptance occur at the designated Pullman, WA facility, with final acceptance reserved by the Government. The solicitation explicitly excludes financing arrangements, warranty specifics beyond commercial norms, and any other non-standard terms, reflecting a streamlined approach consistent with customary commercial practices.
