Post-warranty Preventive Maintenance and Repair Services Cytek Aurora Flow Cytometer System

The Food and Drug Administration, through its Office of Acquisition and Grant Services, is seeking commercial, firm-fixed-price services for post-warranty preventive maintenance and repair of a Cytek Aurora Flow Cytometer System under a total small business set-aside, with the NAICS code 811210 and a small business size standard of $34 million. The contract involves one base year and four option years, spanning a total potential duration of five years from August 18, 2026, through August 17, 2031, with performance to occur at the FDA/CDER Building 64 in Silver Spring, Maryland. All maintenance and repair services must be performed by engineers certified by the original equipment manufacturer and must strictly adhere to OEM specifications, manuals, and service bulletins, requiring the use of only OEM-certified parts, components, and subassemblies. The scope includes one scheduled on-site preventive maintenance visit per year, unlimited on-site corrective repairs within two business days for issues unresolved remotely, and the submission of detailed field service reports after each visit. Pricing must be comprehensive, inclusive of labor, travel, and all parts, and submitted with full transparency to ensure accurate evaluation. Proposals must be delivered via email by June 8, 2026, referencing solicitation number 75F40126Q132229 and include the offeror’s Unique Entity ID, and must remain firm through September 30, 2026. Evaluation will be based on technical capability, past performance, and price, with technical and performance factors collectively weighted more heavily than price; if non-price factors are deemed essentially equal, price becomes the deciding criterion. The Government will evaluate offers by combining the total price of the base year with all option years, and unsatisfactorily unbalanced option pricing may render an offer unacceptable. Contract administration is solely vested in Contracting Officer Warren Dutter, who is the only authorized agent to modify terms, and the Contracting Officer’s Representative will be designated after award. Invoicing must be submitted electronically via the U.S. Treasury’s Invoice Processing Platform, with payments processed net thirty days after government acceptance of services; no advance payments are permitted. All electronic deliverables, reports, or documentation must comply with Section 508 accessibility standards, and failure to meet these requirements places the responsibility and cost of remediation on the contractor. Proposals must include verifiable prior experience servicing this specific OEM equipment,
