About this award
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service awarded a $23,906 firm fixed-price purchase order to Sanatron, Inc., a small business based in Salt Lake City, Utah, for the design and delivery of an Altitude Simulation System. The contract, awarded on August 16, 2024, with completion targeted for September 16, 2024, was designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside and evaluated on a lowest price technically acceptable basis. The altitude simulation chamber will enable researchers to assess bee fitness and pollinator behavior across varying elevation conditions, supporting the agency's research into how these species adapt to climate stressors by migrating to higher elevations.
Sanatron, Inc. brings relevant expertise in designing and manufacturing precision scientific equipment and specialized environmental simulation systems, with prior federal contract experience across multiple agencies including NASA and the Naval Air Warfare Center. The company's demonstrated capability in creating custom chambers and altitude simulation systems aligns with the technical requirements specified in the Agricultural Research Service solicitation. This contract supports the USDA's broader research mission in understanding pollinator behavior and ecosystem resilience in response to climate change, with the system enabling controlled experimental conditions that replicate higher altitude environments for scientific evaluation.
Description
Pollinators, among many plants and animals, are moving up in elevation to escape climate stressors. The pressure chamber being purchased will simulate higher elevations, allowing US to assess BEE fitness at low to moderate altitudes.
