About this award
On September 27, 2025, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order valued at $42,382.72 to Darwin Chambers Co LLC, a small business specializing in environmental control chambers and scientific laboratory equipment. The contract calls for the procurement and delivery of two IN034 Darwin Insect Rearing Chambers to the USDA-ARS Tropical Crop and Commodity Protection Research Unit in Hilo, Hawaii. These specialized chambers, which will augment the agency's existing inventory of eight identical units, are designed to support mission-critical research on invasive pest control strategies by enabling the rearing of insects under ten different controlled environmental conditions. The chambers meet exacting technical specifications including external dimensions of 35.7 inches wide by 33.8 inches deep by 80.0 inches high, a net capacity of 29 cubic feet, thermoelectric assembly, humidity control capabilities, a temperature range of 18 to 60 degrees Celsius, LED lighting, and compressed air connection capabilities.
This award was issued as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) and was conducted using Simplified Acquisition Procedures under FAR Part 13. Darwin Chambers Co LLC, based in St. Louis, Missouri, and registered in SAM.gov since 2004, is the apparent incumbent provider for the existing chambers and was specifically referenced in the solicitation as the brand name manufacturer. The company has an established track record supplying specialized environmental chambers to multiple federal agencies including the National Institutes of Health, U.S. Geological Survey, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of the Navy, and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, with an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2025.
