Sole Source - Life Technologies Instrument Service

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, through its Conservation Genetics Laboratory, is seeking sole source maintenance, repair, and technical support services for Life Technologies laboratory instruments including the DNA Analyzer 3730xl, QuantStudio systems, and associated equipment. The requirement is structured as a fixed-price commercial services contract, with Life Technologies Corporation designated as the only responsible source capable of providing original equipment manufacturer parts and factory-authorized service. Although the government intends to award directly to Life Technologies, all responsible vendors are invited to submit capability statements and quotations demonstrating equivalent access to OEM parts and factory-level authorization, provided submissions are received by the deadline. The effort supports critical genetic research operations at the lab and is essential for maintaining the functionality and accuracy of high-precision DNA analysis instruments. The solicitation, identified as 140FS126Q0133, was posted on July 15, 2026, with responses due by 5:00 PM Eastern Time on July 23, 2026. It falls under NAICS code 811210 for laboratory equipment repair and maintenance and is being managed by the Sat Team 1 FWS under the Department of the Interior. Primary point of contact is Oscar Orozco, reachable via email or phone, with the office located in Falls Church, Virginia. The place of performance is not explicitly specified beyond the laboratory’s operational location, and no set-aside provisions apply. All interested parties must evaluate their ability to meet the OEM service and parts access criteria to be considered, even under this sole source framework.
