PRE-SOLICITATION NON-COMPETITIVE – Notice of Intent to Sole Source SOLICITATION NUMBER: 75N98026Q00247 TITLE: Service/maintenance agreement for the Lab2Lab pneumatic tubing system RESPONSE DATE: May 4, 2026, at 4:00 pm EST. PRIMARY POINT OF CONTACT: Jaddua Johnston jaddua.johnston@mail.nih.gov Phone: 240-569-0006 INTRODUCTION: THIS IS A PRE-SOLICITATION NON-COMPETITIVE (NOTICE OF INTENT) SYNOPSIS TO AWARD A CONTRACT WITHOUT PROVIDING FOR FULL OR OPEN COMPETITION (INCLUDING BRAND-NAME). The Analytical Chemisty Core (ACC) at National Center for Advancing Translational Science (NCATS) requires a service/maintenance agreement covering the Lab2Lab pneumatic tubing system to help ensure its continuing operation and functionality. NORTH AMERICAN INDUSTRY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (NAICS) CODE and SET ASIDE STATUS NAICS code 811210 Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance @ $34,000,000. This acquisition is NOT set aside for small businesses. REGULATORY AUTHORITY This acquisition will be conducted using FAR Part 12 – Acquisition of Commercial Items in conjunction with FAR Part 13 – Simplified Acquisition Procedures, as applicable. The resultant contract will include all appropriate provisions and clauses in effect through the current Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC). STATUTORY AUTHORITY This acquisition is being conducted under the authority of: FAR 6.302-1 – Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements (41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1)) DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENT: PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES: The National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) focuses on getting more treatments to more patients more quickly. Several thousand genetic diseases affect humans, of which only about 500 have any treatment. NCATS is directly addressing this problem by discovering new technologies and other approaches that could greatly accelerate the process of developing and deploying solutions that can be used by all translational researchers. The Analytical Chemistry Core (ACC) provides analytical chemistry services involving the isolation, purification, identification, and analysis of therapeutic modalities for targeted disease states. This is accomplished through the development and usage of the SMART Centralized Sample Purification and Processing Platform. A key aspect of this platform is the utilization of LCMS analysis throughout all stages of the workflow for reaction monitoring, identity verification, and purity analysis of the desired compounds. As a means of improving efficiency and increasing productivity, the ACC implemented the SPT Labtech Lab2Lab Pneumatic Sample Transport System, which sends 2D-barcoded minitubes between labs, storage systems, and analytical instrumentation. Besides having the LCMS systems centrally located near the Analytical Chemistry lab space for ease of oversight and maintenance, precious bench space was freed up due to fewer instruments required for the s…
