sda, MD. The agreement covers the sorter, its three lasers, and one computer workstation (printers excluded). The service agreement maintains the instrument�s performance and availability for NIAMS Intramural Research Program (IRP) research. The base period is 01/05/2027 � 01/04/2028. Option Year 1 is 01/05/2028 � 01/04/2029, and Option Year 2 is 01/05/2029 � 01/04/2030. The contractor shall perform one (1) preventive maintenance inspection during each twelve-month period, including one (1) preventive maintenance kit. The inspection will evaluate instrument performance and include cleaning, calibration, laser power checks, optical alignment, and part replacement as necessary to maintain the instrument substantially in accordance with its published technical specifications. Inspections must comply with Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) equipment manuals. The contractor shall provide unlimited telephone technical support and unlimited service visits at no additional cost to the Government. The contractor shall respond to a request for emergency onsite service within two (2) business days. The contractor shall provide preventive maintenance, service repairs, and technical support between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, Monday through Friday, excluding BD holidays. Work outside these hours must be approved by both parties in advance. The contractor shall provide OEM-certified parts for all preventive maintenance and service repairs, including the 405-45, 488-20, and 640-45 lasers, at no additional cost to the Government. Consumables are excluded. The contractor shall not charge the Government for shipping and handling of covered replacement parts. The contractor shall provide software updates released during the agreement term. The contractor shall use OEM-certified, factory-trained technicians for all preventive maintenance inspections, service repairs, and technical support. Justification for the Proposed Sole-Source Acquisition The Government intends to solicit from a single source pursuant to FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. BD is the manufacturer of the FACSMelody and is the only source the Government has identified for the required service agreement. The service requires OEM-certified technicians, BD parts, and BD software updates. Preventive maintenance and timely repair reduce equipment downtime and support the reliability of research data for approximately 110 users. A service agreement with BD supports continued operation of the instrument and limits disruption to NIAMS IRP research activities. Response Information This notice is not a request for competitive quotations or proposals. However, interested parties that believe they can meet the Government's requirements may submit a capability statement demonstrating their ability to provide the required preventive maintenance and remedial repair services for the specified instrument and meet all applicable technical and operational requirements. The Government will review timely submissions to determine whether another responsible source is capable of satisfying the requirement and whether a competitive acquisition is appropriate. The Government anticipates making an award approximately five (5) calendar days after the closing date of this notice, unless the Government determines that another responsible source can satisfy the requirement. Capability statements must be submitted electronically to carly.beadle@nih.gov no later than 9:00 a.m. MST on November 13, 2026. Please reference Notice No. 75N98027Q00051 in the subject line of the submission. Primary Point of Contact Carly Beadle Email: carly.beadle@nih.gov

Value counts new single-winner awards. "Shared" awards are multiple-award contracts that list every winner with the same total ceiling (same contract, or the same office, day and amount); that ceiling is not one company's win, so it is not added in. Contract modifications are not new awards and are not added in either. Notices whose amount is a placeholder such as $999,999,999 are not added in. Revenue next to a ticker is the company's revenue over the latest 12 months in its SEC filings.
One award's total value against one year of revenue; many awards are paid over several years.
Materiality: one award's value as a share of the winner's revenue over the latest 12 months in its SEC filings (or its last fiscal year, as noted when you point at it). Low under 1%, Medium 1 to 5%, High 5% or more. Many awards are paid over several years, so this overstates a single year's share.
For the 8 most frequent past winners above. Lobbying is matched by the company's exact name or exact ticker; agencies are as named on the filings.
Bills the past winners named while lobbying this agency's issues, rules from the department, and executive orders that name the agency, last 12 months.
For past winners matched exactly to a listed company. Insider trades are open-market buys and sells (Form 4) in the last 90 days, shown as facts; our own study found insiders do not reliably buy ahead of awards. A sale marked 10b5-1 was made under a trading plan set up in advance.

Companies are matched to tickers by exact name, including the subsidiaries a company lists in its SEC filings. A company we could not match shows no market rows; that is a miss, not a finding.
