This is a Notice of Intent, not a request for proposal. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) intends to negotiate on an other than full and open competition basis with Eppendorf North America to procure preventative maintenance services for four (4) epMotion liquid handler robots located on the main NIH campus in Bethesda, MD.

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Microbiome Program is a collaborative effort to explore the metaorganism—the combination of the cells of a host and the host-s microbiota. The program has developed a microbiome sequencing facility with bioinformatics support, a gnotobiotic mouse facility, and a microbiology core that are all tasked with studying the metaorganism. The program has already supported research of over 35 groups across the National Institutes of Health, who study the metaorganism in the context of health, cancer, parasite infection, and many other disease states. To conduct these studies on human and mouse samples, the lab uses the Eppendorf epMotion platform for next generation sequencing, C57BL/6 germ free mice and other in our own facility, and various microbiological techniques. The DNA extraction of stool samples and library preparation for 16S and metagenomic sequencing is of paramount importance for this work. This requirement is for the procurement of preventative maintenance services for each of four (4) epMotion machines, specifically two each of models EpMotion 5073 and EpMotion 5075, for the period March 15, 2025 - March 14, 2026.
