CDC sole source to JEOL for TEM preventive maintenance.
Some language patterns suggest this RFP may be written for a specific incumbent vendor. Review qualification requirements and brand-specific terms carefully before committing bid resources.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) intends to award a sole source contract to JEOL USA, Inc. for preventive maintenance services on a JEOL JEM-1400 Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM). The maintenance covers all labor, travel, and parts required to keep the microscope in optimal operating condition. This is a brand-specific requirement as the equipment is proprietary to JEOL. The period of performance is one base year plus four option years. No other vendor can service this equipment without voiding the warranty or risking damage. This notice is not a request for competitive quotes.
