INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE: ANTON PAAR M&S

Fiscal Service Procurement, on behalf of the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax & Trade Bureau (TTB), intends to make award to Anton Paar USA, Inc. 10215 Timber Ridge Drive, Ashland, VA 23005, on a sole source basis for the purchase of preventative maintenance service density meters.

Anton Paar USA, Inc. is an authorized goods and service provider for all Anton Paar brand instruments in the United States. TTB uses the preventative maintenance, ISO calibration and certification, and repair service for a DMA 4501 and DMA 5001 density meter for their laboratory located in Beltsville, MD. There are detailed procedures which must be followed-combined with specialized tools-during the course of a preventive maintenance service activity and/or in the event a repair becomes necessary, so as to ensure the proper operation of the instruments.

Anton Paar USA, Inc. is the sole authorized goods and service provider for all Anton Paar brand instruments in the United States and Caribbean islands. Due to the proprietary nature of the design of the Instruments, preventative maintenance and repair services can only be provided by certified Anton Paar USA, Inc. Service employees.

The period of performance for the purchase order/contract is anticipated to be a one 12-month base period (01/01/2025-12/31/2025).
