The CDC Office of Acquisition Services seeks a brand-name-only Artisan Link Pro Special Stainer, including delivery, installation, calibration, and associated installation documentation. The equipment will support the CDC Infectious Diseases Pathology Branch in specialized staining for tissue-based diagnostics. This is a time-sensitive need to replace aging laboratory equipment and maintain continuity of IDPB diagnostic operations. The Artisan Link Pro must provide small-batch testing capability and support continuity with existing CLIA diagnostic processes. The requirement is competitive but brand-name-only, restricting the product rather than vendors, and the government anticipates a Firm-Fixed-Price purchase order.
