The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) intends to award a fixed-price contract on a sole source basis to Remel, Inc., Lenexa, KS for laboratory equipment maintenance services. This is the only known Vendor trained and authorized to perform equipment maintenance for ThermoFisher-manufactured laboratory equipment.

This contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR Part FAR 13.106–1 (b) and 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c) (1). Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals.
