Introduction
The National Institute of Health - Hospital Laboratory Support Service (NIH/HLSS) intends to award a sole‑source contract, without full and open competition, for maintenance and repair services for nine essential Leica laboratory instruments used by the Infectious Disease‑Pathogenesis Section (IDPS). These instruments are critical to daily histopathology operations, which support National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID) investigators and research programs.
This action is taken under FAR 6.302‑1, Only One Responsible Source, and the applicable provisions of the Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2024‑07.
NAICS Code
811210 - Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance
This requirement is not set aside for small businesses.
Purpose
IDPS relies heavily on Leica equipment for processing, staining, analyzing, and preparing tissue samples that support infectious disease research. In 2025, IDPS generated thousands of slides, tissue blocks, and diagnostic materials using these instruments. Any equipment downtime would halt work across multiple projects.
A renewed annual service agreement is essential to maintain uninterrupted operations and ensure reliable data quality.
Required Services
The contractor shall provide:
1. Maintenance and Repairs
• All labor and Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)‑standard replacement parts
• Unlimited emergency repair visits
• Qualified, factory‑trained field service engineers
• Response within 24 hours after being notified of an equipment issue
2. Replacement Parts
