Subject: PR #12461398 for Procurement of Maintenance and Repair Services for Leica Microsystems Medical Devices Reference: RFO 12.102(a) “Restricting Competition” 1.) The purpose of this memorandum is to document the Contracting Officer’s decision that only one source is reasonably available to satisfy this requirement.

2.) The following determination is based on the extensive training, knowledge and market research conducted by Walter Reed National Military Medical Center (WRNMMC) medical training personnel and the independent market research performed by the Contract Analyst and Contracting Officer.

Leica Microsystems Inc is the only company capable of providing the required expertise, knowledge, and turn around time necessary to maintain the three Leica Cryostat devices at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center without voiding the warranty.

Leica Microsystems does not have any authorized third-party maintenance providers and explicitly states that any third party intervention voids liability and warranty.

3.) Leica Microsystems, Inc. (CAGE Code 2F735), has been identified as the sole source awardee under the relevant NAICS code (811210) and is the sole provider of the required services.

4.) I hereby determine that only one source, Leica Microsystems Inc. is reasonably available to satisfy this requirement, and this procurement is in the best interest of the Government.

Official solicitation and documents

The full solicitation, any attachments, and the actual submission instructions live on the official listing, not on this page. Oppward summarizes public record data; it does not host or mirror the source documents.

Oppward is an independent service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by SAM.gov or any government agency. This page is a plain-English summary of public record data; the linked source above is the authoritative listing.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

  1. Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
  2. Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
  3. This listing has no set-aside restriction ("full and open competition"), meaning any business, large or small, can bid.
  4. Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
