Comprehensive Tier 1 Extended Warranty DEXA+PM entitlement

The National Institutes of Health Mouse Imaging Facility is seeking comprehensive Tier 1 extended warranty and preventive maintenance support for its InAlyzer DEXA Scanner, a high-throughput dual energy X-ray absorptiometry system critical for longitudinal biomedical research. This equipment measures bone mineral density and body composition with minimal radiation exposure, enabling efficient screening of subjects to identify optimal candidates for more time-intensive imaging modalities like microCT. Its use is integral to ongoing, approved research studies that began before January 20, 2025, and its continued operation is essential to preserve years of scientific investment and ensure accurate, reliable data collection. Without sustained maintenance at the highest standards, the integrity of these studies would be compromised, delaying progress and increasing costs. The procurement is issued under solicitation number 75N98026Q00808 with a response deadline of July 25, 2026, and is categorized under NAICS code 541380. It is managed by the Office of Laboratory Animal Welfare within the Department of Health and Human Services, with performance located in Bethesda, Maryland. The primary point of contact for inquiries is Roshonna Davis, reachable via email at davicroshonna@mail.nih.gov. The contract requires full-service extended warranty coverage to guarantee uninterrupted operation, precision calibration, timely repairs, and proactive maintenance, all essential for maintaining the scanner’s reliability in supporting high-volume, long-term research workflows.
