EPA Region 8 awarded a firm-fixed-price purchase order to Awareness Technology Inc. on September 28, 2026, for one ChemWell 2910 automated ELISA analyzer with installation, training, one-year on-site service, and extended warranty, valued at $37,760.00 under a total small business set-aside. Performance occurs at EPA Region 8 Laboratory, Denver, Colorado. The analyzer supports EPA Method 546 cyanotoxin analyses; the laboratory has operated ChemWell-platform equipment since 2016. Market research confirmed no other vendor capable of furnishing a new ChemWell 2910 with manufacturer-performed installation, service, and warranty. Transition to an alternative platform would require six months of re-validation and approximately $20,000 in test kits. The purchase order follows a pre-solicitation posted September 19, 2026, that solicited capability statements from competing sources through September 24, 2026, but EPA reserves discretion to compete the requirement in the future. Ultimate completion is November 30, 2029.
