eSlide Manager Service Agreement
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price purchase order to Leica Microsystems, Inc. for a three-year onsite software maintenance agreement. The agreement is for software updates and unlimited support to ensure the latest functionality for the Leica Aperio CS eSlide Manager applications used in ePathology. The government's intent to solicit only one source is based on Leica being the original manufacturer. While this is a notice of intent and not a formal competitive request, the agency will consider any capability statements or quotations received.
