The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is conducting market research to understand Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) policies and practices affecting competition in the maintenance and repair of scientific equipment, particularly during the post-warranty lifecycle. The government seeks responses from OEMs that use in-house technicians, focusing on access to parts, software, diagnostics, and training, as well as any restrictions on third-party service providers. No contract will be awarded from this Request for Information (RFI), and no formal pricing is required, though general pricing structures may be provided. Responses must be submitted electronically by the specified due date, with a cover page including company details and service model description. The location for performance of services is not specified.
