Proposed Contractor: Carl Zeiss Microscopy, LLC
Description of Requirement: This maintenance contract covers the continued support, inspection, calibration, and servicing of the ZEISS LSM 980 / Axio Observer 7 microscope system to ensure reliable, safe, and high-quality operation for all research laboratories that depend on the instrument. The objective is to maintain optimal system performance, minimize downtime, and protect the long-term functionality of this shared imaging resource.

Only One Source: Carl Zeiss Microscopy is the only known responsible source capable of providing the required services that meet NIAMS technical, compatibility, and continuity requirements in accordance with FAR 6.302-1.
