Quotes due: September 25, 2026 at 2:00 PM Eastern Time.
Written questions and quotes are accepted only by email at centralprocurement@doh.nj.gov. NJDOH directs bidders to include the bidding opportunity number in the subject line.
Scope of work
The contractor must provide preventive maintenance for two BD MAX systems in accordance with manufacturer guidelines and laboratory operational standards. Required services include inspection, cleaning, calibration verification, and functional testing. The instruments support nucleic-acid extraction and real-time PCR and are used for Candida auris testing in a CLIA-regulated laboratory environment.
Contract term
The base contract term is three years. NJDOH may extend the contract for up to two additional one-year periods by mutual written consent. The RFQ does not state a guaranteed contract amount. Small-business and disabled-veteran set-asides are marked not applicable.
Atlas fit
This is a healthcare laboratory procurement rather than a grant. It is most relevant to vendors with demonstrated BD MAX preventive-maintenance capability and the technical qualifications to service molecular diagnostic instrumentation. It is not presently a verified direct Dr. Miltie bid opportunity because no evidence has been established that Dr. Miltie provides manufacturer-aligned BD MAX maintenance services.
