Nikon Microscopes Supply

The University of Maryland in Baltimore, Maryland is seeking a vendor to supply new and unused microscopes and accessories. Although the project title specifies Nikon microscopes, the agency requires the provision of Olympus microscopes and accessories, including imaging accessories. The agency is attempting to secure a single, comprehensive discount percentage that covers all microscopes and accessories under the contract. The scope of work requires the selected vendor to deliver the equipment and provide on-site setup and demonstration of the manufacturer's entire quoted microscope line at no extra charge. The agency requires a minimum one-year warranty on parts and labor, which must pass directly from the manufacturer to the University. Bidders must also specify their average delivery time after receiving an order. Eligible bidders must be located onshore within the United States. The performance of the work, aside from the required on-site setup and demonstration at delivery, will be conducted offsite. The contract period will span one year, and the agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget and pricing. The agency will evaluate proposals based on the single discount percentage offered, the capability to perform the required demonstrations, and the stated delivery timelines. All questions regarding this opportunity must be submitted to the agency no later than June 12, 2026.
