The Brooke Army Medical Center is issuing a Sources Sought Notice to conduct market research for on-site calibration services for Rainin brand pipettes to meet accreditation standards. The Medical Readiness Contracting Office-West seeks input from interested businesses, particularly small enterprises across various socioeconomic categories, to gauge their capability to fulfill these requirements. The current in-house calibration methods by the BAMC Department of Pathology are insufficient for accreditation, necessitating certified external services for laboratory pipettes, particularly in specialized labs. Responses are encouraged from organizations that can address calibration needs, including comprehensive capability statements and organizational details. The procurement aligns with NAICS code 811210 for Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance. Interested parties must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and submit responses by 04 April 2025, directly to the designated contact persons, as telephone inquiries are not accepted. This notice serves purely as a gathering of information and does not impose any commitment from the government for contract awards.
