NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE: Steris Corporation - Preventative Maintenance
Contract Opportunity Analysis
The USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service intends to award a firm-fixed-price sole-source service contract to STERIS Corporation for preventative maintenance and inspections of STERIS-manufactured laboratory equipment. The work covers annual preventive maintenance for sterilizers, generators, and washers across three FSIS laboratory locations. The requirement is being restricted under FAR 12.102 because STERIS is identified as the sole factory-authorized source for parts and service, and maintenance must be performed by factory-trained personnel to keep equipment aligned with OEM specifications. The contract is planned as a 12-month base year with four 12-month option years, and the notice invites any responsible source that can meet the requirement to submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation for consideration.
