About this award
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) awarded a $124,810 firm fixed price purchase order to Ta Instruments - Waters LLC for a photorheometer system supporting the agency's bioprinting research program. This administrative modification corrected the delivery and completion dates, with the contract now scheduled for completion by November 3, 2025. The award was not designated as a set-aside. Ta Instruments - Waters LLC, a division of Waters Corporation headquartered in New Castle, Delaware, is a specialized manufacturer of advanced scientific instrumentation including thermal analysis, rheological characterization, and calorimetry equipment. The company has maintained extensive federal contracting relationships across multiple agencies since 2001, with a strong track record supplying high-precision materials characterization systems to the Department of Defense, NASA, the Department of Energy, and civilian research institutions.
The photorheometer system will support NIST's Applied Chemicals and Materials Division's research into bioink cure kinetics and mechanical properties for high-resolution bioprinting applications. The system must feature steady state and oscillatory shear strain capabilities, quasistatic and oscillatory compression testing, and bottom optical access for light sources and microscopes. Per the originating solicitation, Ta Instruments - Waters LLC is responsible for delivery, installation, and training of NIST personnel at the agency's Boulder, Colorado facility within 70 days of contract award, and the system includes a one-year warranty covering parts, labor, and travel expenses. This procurement addresses NIST's critical need for specialized equipment to advance bioprinting technology for applications including hydrogels, synthetic organs, and tissue scaffolds.
