Only AB Sciex LLC of 1201 Radio Road, Redwood City, CA 94065-1217 can provide consolidated non-personal maintenance services contract for designated AB Sciex laboratory equipment within the DFT. The authority cited for this procurement is under FAR 13.501(a)(1)(i): Only one source reasonably available.

The Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Maintenance includes regularly scheduled preventative maintenance, inspections, calibrations, and corrective/repair maintenance tasks. The aggregate number of equipment covered under the contract shall fluctuate throughout the term of the contract. This fluctuation may result from the removal of aged, non-repairable, past service life, or past useful life equipment from the service contract, and the addition of new, warranty free equipment or equipment currently on inventory. The equipment must be maintained within the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications, in like new or better condition; therefore, no effort will be made to solicit offers from any other potential sources as there is only one known source capable of providing the required equipment maintenance service. AB Sciex LLC is the OEM and the only company that can provide the required maintenance services, while ensuring the instrument's performance, calibration, and functionality are not compromised. No other company can provide maintenance on AB Sciex equipment as they have no authorized third parties to perform this service.
