Grenova, Inc., a minority-owned small business manufacturer, has been awarded a Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contract (GS07F057GA) from the General Services Administration (GSA) to provide integrated pipette tip washing robotic systems and related services to federal government agencies. Under this MAS contract, Grenova has received several delivery orders from the Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) National Institutes of Health (NIH) National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Pittsburgh, totaling over $375,000. These delivery orders include the provision of integrated pipette tip washing robotic systems, upgrades, full service and support, and a 12-month warranty. The contract has been designated as a total small business set-aside, with the exception of two awards that did not use a set-aside. The period of performance for the MAS contract is from January 18, 2017, to January 17, 2022, and the delivery time is 56 days after receipt of order. The place of performance is primarily in Virginia.
The products and services provided under this MAS contract aim to support federal agencies' laboratory operations by reducing waste and improving efficiency through Grenova's integrated pipette tip washing robotic systems. The contract's pricing lists and task orders indicate that Grenova's solutions have been procured by HHS agencies, such as the NIH and CDC, to support their translational research and disease control efforts. The contract's designation as a small business set-aside, as well as Grenova's status as a minority-owned business, suggest that the government is prioritizing the participation of diverse and small businesses in this procurement.
