Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail) The RFQ for replacement of two passthrough autoclave/sterilizers at the USDA National Animal Disease Center appears to have a closely related prior contract with Trillamed (36F79720D0041-1232SA26F0091) valued at $59,119 for a Getinge Lancer LSS 275 sterilizer/autoclave installation. That prior work included deinstallation of an existing unit and installation of a new sterilizer, which aligns with the current requirement to remove existing equipment and install, connect, program/commission, and train on new autoclave/sterilizer controls.
