BBD carries out this work through fundamental research in measurement science and the development of reference materials, reference data, and protocols. To meet mission requirements, a service agreement for maintenance and repair for a Hamilton STAR Automated Liquid Handler is needed. The maintenance agreement(s) will ensure that the measurements carried out by BBD using the Hamilton STAR Automated Liquid Handler are reliable, reproducible, and of high enough quality to meet the needs of BBD’s stakeholders. Sole Source justification is based on the following: Extensive market research was performed utilizing GSA Advantage, the Dynamic Small Business Database and the Internet to locate vendors. The Hamilton STAR liquid handling system is a proprietary instrument. The manufacturer (Hamilton Company) is the only source for parts, software upgrades and maintenance services. There are no authorized third-party providers. NAICS code for this requirement will be 811219 – Other Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance with a small business size of $20.5M. No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, interested parties who regard themselves as capable of fulfilling these requirements are invited to submit responses to the Government for consideration.
