Nanostring GeoMx Annual Service Contract

The National Institutes of Health, through the Office of the Director within the Department of Health and Human Services, has initiated a presolicitation for an annual service contract to maintain the GeoMx Digital Spatial Profiler (DSP) instrument located at the Twinbrook MD campus, 5625 Fishers Lane, Bethesda, MD 20892. This instrument is critical for advancing research on alcohol-induced organ injury and fibrosis models by enabling non-destructive, high-resolution spatial profiling of RNA and protein expression within tissue microenvironments, supporting multiple labs across NIAAA in identifying novel biomarkers, understanding disease mechanisms, and evaluating therapeutic interventions. The contract requires exclusive service from Bruker Spatial Biology, Inc. as the sole authorized provider, with all work—including preventive maintenance, emergency repairs, software updates, and technical support—limited to OEM-trained and certified technicians. No subcontracting is permitted, and only original equipment manufacturer parts, excluding consumables, may be used to ensure performance integrity and warranty compliance. The service period spans twelve months, commencing upon contract execution and initial payment, with three scheduled preventive maintenance visits included. Full payment is contingent on the complete delivery of all contracted services, and maintenance records must be maintained on-site by Dr. Resat Cinar. The solicitation, identified as 75N98026Q00674 under NAICS code 334516, has no set-aside provisions and requires responses by July 2, 2026, with no pricing details publicly disclosed due to the unprovided quote attachment.
