- The National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST) seeks information on vendors that are capable of providing maintenance services for a Hamilton Robotics, Microlab Star automated liquid handling system located at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), 100 Bureau Drive, Gaithersburg, MD 20899. The purpose of this notice is to identify organizations capable of providing a service and maintenance agreement on a Hamilton Robotics MicroLab Star automated liquid handling system for a base year plus four (4) option years. The government requires maintenance by a Hamilton Robotics trained technician and for use of original Hamilton Robotics parts for repairs to a Hamilton Robotics MicroLab Star automated liquid handling system. The service engineer must be able to maintain and repair this instrument to Hamilton Robotics specifications including field verification of performance to conform to Good Laboratory Practice/Good Manufacturing Practice standards, two annual preventive maintenance visits, and respond to an unlimited number of service repair calls. Preliminary market research efforts indicated that only the original equipment manufacturer was capable of providing such services, but in the interest of due diligence in market research, this notice seeks to identify any other vendors that may be capable of providing these services. This announcement is not a Request for Proposals or Quotes (RFP/RFQ) and does not commit the Government to award a contract now or in the future. The information contained in this notice is DRAFT only and as such, is subject to change prior to issuance of a solicitation. No solicitation is available at this time. After results of this market research are obtained and analyzed, NIST may conduct a competitive or non-competitive procurement and subsequently award a contract. NIST will use the results of this sources sought notice to determine whether to proceed on a sole source basis or competitively if it is determined that other vendors could potentially meet NIST's needs. This requirement is assigned a NAICS code of 811219 with a small business size standard of $20.5M in annual receipts. Interested business organizations that believe they may be capable of meeting NIST's requirements detailed below should respond to this notice with a narrative demonstrating their ability to meet NIST's requirements. Contractors may provide supplemental information at their discretion. Responses should be submitted to Grace.Garrity@nist.gov no later than 11/9/2016.
