The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Southwest Fisheries Science Center intends to award a sole source contract to Standard BioTools, Inc. for the maintenance, repair, and calibration of a Standard BioTools EP1 instrument.

The scope of work includes on-site repair, calibration, and validation of the instrument to ensure it meets the original equipment manufacturer's operating specifications. Standard BioTools, Inc. has been identified as the sole source because they are the original equipment manufacturer and possess the proprietary parts, calibration standards, and factory-authorized engineers necessary to maintain data integrity and warranty status. While this is an intent to sole source, interested parties may submit capability statements to Contracting Officer Elliott Waxman by September 1, 2026, at 2:00 PM MT.

SPECIAL NOTICE: Intent to Sole Source


1. General Information


  • Notice Type: Special Notice / Intent to Sole Source
  • Service Code: J066 – Maintenance, Repair, and Rebuilding of Equipment
  • NAICS Code: 811210 – Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance
  • Requesting Office: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) / Southwest Fisheries Science Center (SWFSC)

2. Description


The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Southwest Fisheries Science Center (SWFSC) intends to award a sole source contract to Standard BioTools, Inc. to provide on-site field service, applications support, and repair authorization for the agency’s Standard BioTools EP1 instrument (serial number 50025).


This requirement is to support critical genetics, genomics, and fisheries research programs, including coho salmon captive broodstock and related laboratory operations.


The contractor shall complete the following tasks:


  • Task 1 – on-site repair and calibration of EP1
  • Task 2 – on-site validation of repair
  • Task 3 – warranty period explicitly stated

Applicable Standards


The EP1 should be restored to its full operating specifications as defined by the manufacturer Standard BioTools/Fluidigm Corporation.


Special Requirements


Repair personnel should be deemed highly qualified by Standard BioTools/Fluidigm Corporation, and should be experienced in repairing the Fluidigm EP1 instrument. 


Required Knowledge and Experience

Repair personnel should possess specific expertise in repairing, calibrating and testing the Fluidigm EP1 instrument.  


3. Justification


Standard BioTools, Inc. is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the EP1 platform. Market research has determined that Standard BioTools is the only source capable of providing the necessary factory-authorized field service engineers, proprietary parts, calibration standards, and applications support required to maintain the instrument’s performance and data integrity. Use of non-OEM service providers would risk voiding existing warranties and compromising the regulatory and scientific validity of research data. Therefore, this acquisition is being pursued as a sole source procurement under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 1901.


4. Submission of Inquiries


This notice is not a request for competitive quotes. However, any party that believes it can provide the required services and maintain the OEM standards for the EP1 platform may submit a capability statement for consideration. Capability statements must be received by September 1, 2026 at 2:00PM MT.


All inquiries and responses should be directed to:


Elliott Waxman

NOAAPort Replacement Capabilities
Solicitation # 142083-27-0002
The Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the National Weather Service (NWS) have issued Request for Information (RFI) No. 142083-27-0002 to conduct market research for the replacement of the legacy NOAAPort Satellite Broadcast Network (SBN). The government is seeking information on innovative, high-reliability distribution capabilities—which could be cloud-based, terrestrial, satellite, or hybrid—to deliver mission-critical weather data to a geographically dispersed user community. The replacement system must support the exchange, ingestion, processing, and distribution of data products and must integrate with the NWS Hydrometeorological Interactive Virtual Environment (HIVE) and the Centralized Integrated Real-Time Repository for Unified Services (CIRRUS) using common internet protocols such as APIs and MQTT. This notice is for planning purposes only and is not a solicitation for award; no funds have been authorized or appropriated for this effort at this time. The NWS intends to deactivate the legacy SBN as early as August 31, 2027, and is requesting industry feedback on technical architectures, cloud migration strategies, security protocols, and rough order of magnitude cost estimates. Interested respondents must submit their responses in Microsoft Word or PDF format to the designated points of contact by October 29, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The government is utilizing this RFI to inform its acquisition strategy and evaluate potential small business set-aside opportunities under NAICS code 541512.
