Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail)
This opportunity appears to have a closely related prior contract for glassware washing equipment at FDA’s San Juan Medical Products Laboratory, with Sterilelink identified as the awardee on contract 75F40122P00386 valued at $20,633 for preventative maintenance of three STERIS glassware washers. The current requirement similarly involves providing a laboratory glassware washer system along with installation, validation, training, and warranty support, which suggests continuity in supporting the same type of glassware washing function and equipment used for analytical methods.
