Report
Summary
The purpose of this agreement is to provide maintenance, repair services, parts and consumables for Perkin Elmer Health Sciences, Inc. laboratory instruments.
This direct selection is necessary because of the requirement to provide service by an authorized Perkin Elmer service team and maintaining the equipment with only Perkin Elmer Health Sciences, Inc. factory new or refurbished repair parts.
Perkin Elmer's services include but are not limited to: repair; replacement parts; labor; telephone support; mechanical inspection; calibration; cleaning and any associated services required to maintain equipment to its original standards on a monthly and bi-annual service cadence over the term of the agreement.
Procurement Information
An exception to the procurement process was determined to select the contractor as set forth in City of Phoenix Administrative Regulation 3.10. A direct selection was made because there exists a specific warranty requirement to use only authorized service technicians and Perkin Elmer Health Sciences, Inc. factory new or refurbished repair parts which makes a competitive selection process impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest.
Contract Term
The agreement will begin on or about July 1, 2021 for a five-year aggregate term.
Financial Impact
The agreement value for Perkin Elmer Health Sciences, Inc. expenditures will be $143,748.
