Tecan US Inc Service Plan

The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment Laboratory Services Division is procuring a sole-source service plan from Tecan US Inc. for the maintenance, repair, and technical support of proprietary laboratory instruments including the EVO 100, Fluent 1080, and EVO 200 models. The contract, identified by solicitation number NPSS1-FHKA-2027000015-1, is justified under FAR 6.302-1 because only Tecan US Inc. possesses the proprietary knowledge, certified personnel, and authorized parts necessary to service these instruments without compromising laboratory quality control compliance. Services encompass annual preventative maintenance, emergency repairs, recertification after service, and on-site technical support conducted exclusively by manufacturer-trained engineers using non-catalog components. The contract term runs from July 31, 2026, through April 22, 2031, with a total estimated value of $325,000, paid in advance without itemized line items, and performance is required at the CDPHE facility in Denver, Colorado. No competitive bidding is being conducted, and no formal evaluation factors, weights, or risk ratings are applied beyond the sole-source determination, which is supported by the proprietary nature of the equipment and the lack of technically qualified alternatives. The procurement process requires responses to be submitted via the PCU Request Site by July 22, 2026, with comments or objections directed to Kristi Gamble via email with a designated subject header. No federal acquisition regulations clauses, military standards, packaging specifications, or formal representations from the vendor are included in the documentation, and financial, accounting, or invoicing details beyond the total value and payment method remain unspecified. Acceptance of services occurs at the point of performance, with the government retaining authority to validate operational integrity and regulatory compliance after each service event.
