- The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is conducting a Market Survey to determine the availability and technical capability of Contractors to provide the services for emergency repair and preventative maintenance of a wide variety of Agilent Technologies analytical equipment systems. The intended procurement will be classified under NAICS 811219, ?Other Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance?, with a size standard of $6.0M. Independently, and not as an agent of the Government, the Contractor would furnish all necessary trained experienced personnel, labor, special tools, facilities, diagnostic equipment, parts, materials and supplies to provide the required services. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) conducts the world's largest biomedical research program. Direct research and support are performed in numerous laboratories in the continental United States. During the course of conducting laboratory experiments and research, NIH uses analytical equipment systems manufactured by Agilent Technologies. The equipment systems must be operational when needed to support the time sensitive needs of ongoing experiments and research. The failure of these systems being operational could result in the loss of extensive research efforts. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has a requirement for maintenance of Agilent Technologies analytical equipment systems.

The goal of this requirement is to acquire services that enable the Government-owned Agilent Technologies analytical equipment systems identified herein to remain operational and perform in accordance with the original equipment manufacturer's (OEM) operational specifications. This may be used by the entire NIH community having Government-owned Agilent Technologies analytical equipment systems manufactured by the OEM of the type specified herein. This requirement shall include the following types of work: (1) Full service maintenance including routine preventive maintenance and emergency repair service, (2) Relocation service.
