Zeiss Microscopes Supply

The University of Maryland in Baltimore, Maryland is seeking a vendor to supply new and unused Olympus microscopes and accessories, including imaging accessories. Despite the project title referencing Zeiss, the agency specifically requires the delivery of Olympus brand equipment. The agency is attempting to secure a single, consistent discount percentage that will apply to all microscopes and accessories purchased under the contract. The scope of work requires the selected vendor to deliver the equipment, provide a minimum one-year warranty on parts and labor, and transfer the manufacturer warranty directly to the University. The vendor must possess the capability to set up and demonstrate the manufacturer's entire microscope line at no extra charge upon delivery. Additionally, the agency requires bidders to specify their average delivery time after receiving an order. Eligible bidders must be located onshore within the United States, and the performance of the work will occur offsite. The contract period will span one year, and the agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget. Bidders must submit all questions regarding this opportunity no later than June 12, 2026.
