Purchase Order 68HE0B26P0246

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Office of Research and Development awarded a $34,973.30 firm fixed-price purchase order to Fisher Scientific Company L.L.C. (Fisher Healthcare division) on March 12, 2026, for consumable laboratory supplies. The contract, which is not set-aside restricted and allows performance in Pittsburgh, PA, will be completed by March 11, 2027. Fisher Healthcare, a subsidiary of Thermo Electron Corporation and major federal supplier of scientific instruments and diagnostic consumables, was selected through the competitive pre-solicitation process posted in January 2026. The supplies procured under this order support the EPA's research and development operations and fall under the Laboratory Equipment and Supplies category.

Fisher Healthcare's selection reflects its established position as a critical supplier of laboratory consumables across the federal government, with an extensive portfolio of indefinite delivery vehicle contracts and blanket purchase agreements serving the Veterans Health Administration, Defense Health Agency, and Indian Health Service. The company maintains active General Services Administration Federal Supply Schedule 65-VII registration for in vitro diagnostics, reagents, and test kits, enabling efficient procurement of laboratory materials on an as-needed basis. This purchase order represents a discrete task order supporting EPA's research operations and complements Fisher Healthcare's broader federal contracting activities focused on supplying consumable products and diagnostic equipment to multiple federal agencies.
