Maintenance Agreement for PerkinElmer Equipment

The NIAID Integrated Research Facility (IRF) is part of the National Interagency Biodefense Campus, a group of federal biomedical research facilities based at Fort Detrick, Maryland. The IRF is composed of 6 core laboratories: (1) Clinical Core, (2) Anatomic Pathology, (3) Cell Culture, (4) Imaging Physics, (5) Comparative Medicine, and (6) Aerobiology. Scientists at the IRF focus on developing prevention and treatment options that will be directly relevant to human diseases whether they emerge naturally or are deliberately introduced. Advanced imaging technology and other state-of-the-art features inside a secure laboratory allow researchers to follow disease processes. Description of the Requirement: The NIAID is seeking to procure a maintenance agreement for the attached list of equipment. These machines need to be in optimal operating order to perform continuing experiments related to the mission of the research laboratories in the Integrated Research Facility.
