The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a $32,350 firm fixed-price purchase order to Aquatic Laboratories, Inc., a for-profit manufacturer, for the delivery of two environmental DNA (eDNA) autosamplers with integrated sensors. The requirement was originally solicited under a combined synopsis/solicitation using simplified acquisition procedures, with no set-aside used. The autosamplers must be capable of operating at depths exceeding 1,000 meters, supporting long-term deployment, accommodating multiple filter types, and being sterilizable at sea. The autosamplers must also feature programmable filtering rates and depths, along with integrated sensors for measuring depth, temperature, salinity, and potentially dissolved oxygen. Delivery of the equipment is required by September 30, 2025, with performance occurring at the contractor's facility.
