About this award
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives awarded a $55,530.77 firm fixed-price BPA call to Life Technologies Corporation (operating as Thermo Fisher Scientific) on July 30, 2025, for supplies and reagents required for forensic DNA analysis. The contract, with an ultimate completion date of March 31, 2026, will be performed at the company's facility in Carlsbad, California. This award was issued without a set-aside designation, reflecting Life Technologies' competitive positioning in open federal procurement. Life Technologies is a leading manufacturer of scientific instruments, reagents, and consumables serving federal agencies across forensic, research, medical, and environmental sectors, and maintains an extensive portfolio of federal contract awards across multiple government departments including the FBI, CDC, NIH, and Department of Defense.
This BPA call represents a task order issued under Life Technologies' existing Blanket Purchase Agreement framework with federal law enforcement and research agencies. The company supplies critical forensic DNA analysis consumables, including PCR kits, reagent kits for forensic DNA analysis, nucleic acid purification kits, and fluorescence detection reagents such as BigDye Terminator. Life Technologies' established role as a specialized supplier of advanced biotechnology infrastructure to federal agencies, combined with its expertise in forensic laboratory equipment and consumables, positions it to support the ATF's forensic analysis capabilities and investigative missions. The firm fixed-price structure and relatively modest contract ceiling reflect the supplies-focused nature of this task order call.
