Preventative Maintenance and Service Agreement for the Zeiss Axio Scan.Z7

The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) will issue a non‑competitive, sole‑source purchase order to Carl Zeiss Microscopy, LLC for a Preventative Maintenance and Service Agreement covering the Zeiss Axio Scan.Z7 used by the NIMH Systems Neuroscience Imaging Resource. The agreement will be a fixed‑price contract that includes routine preventative maintenance, repair support, and provision of covered replacement parts (new or rebuilt to original specifications). NIMH will supply workspace, desktop computers, and telephone service for the on‑site technician, and the contractor must submit quarterly written reports detailing all repairs and annual maintenance. The period of performance, pricing (unit, list, shipping/handling, FOB), delivery schedule, and prompt‑payment discount terms must be included in the response. All offerors must have an active SAM registration, a valid DUNS, TIN, and business‑size certification. Responses—capability statements, proposals, or quotations—must be submitted electronically to John Johnson (Contract Specialist, johnsonjr@nih.gov) by 1:00 p.m. EDT on 30 April 2026 and reference solicitation 75N98026Q00229. The NAICS code is 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance) with no small‑business set‑aside. This acquisition is justified as a sole‑source because the Zeiss Axio Scan.Z7 is proprietary and Carl Zeiss Microscopy is the only vendor capable of providing the required maintenance services.
