About this award

The Federal Bureau of Investigation's Laboratory Division awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order valued at $132,194.92 to BSD Robotics Pty Ltd, an Australian manufacturer of specialized forensic laboratory equipment, on January 28, 2026. The contract covers the procurement of one BSD600 Ascent A2 Biosample Punch Instrument, a specialized piece of analytical laboratory equipment designed for forensic data processing and DNA analysis. This sole-source procurement was issued under Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.302-1 authority, recognizing BSD Robotics as the exclusive manufacturer of the BSD series biological-sample punching instruments. The contract includes performance through March 20, 2026, with work to be performed in Australia. No small business set-aside was utilized for this award.

The procurement was justified based on BSD Robotics' unique capabilities and exclusive manufacture of this specialized instrumentation, as outlined in the Special Notice posted on January 7, 2026. The instrument is intended to replace the FBI's current BSD instrument at the Laboratory Division. BSD Robotics has demonstrated sustained engagement with federal civilian agencies over the past three years, receiving approximately $3.2 million in total contract awards from the FBI, Department of State, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and other federal entities for similar biosample punching instruments and associated maintenance services. The firm's positioning as the sole provider of this technology, combined with warranty and servicing requirements tied to manufacturer-authorized personnel, supported the sole-source procurement approach.
