• Consumable Parts Replacement.
Performance will be for one year beyond date of award at: NIH Vaccine Immunology Program Lab, Suite 150, 9 West Watkins Mill Rd, Gaithersburg MD 20878
The Government has determined that only this source is reasonable because these machines provide critical data measurement to ongoing research studies and have been under proprietary factory service since installation. A change midway would introduce a variable, affecting the data integrity and standard of control for the study.

However, all responsible sources that believe they can satisfy the requirement may submit a capability statement and supporting documentation no later than 5:00 PM EDT Wednesday, September 16, 2026 to James (Jim) French jim.french@nih.gov.

The Government will consider all timely responses before making its award decision.
