PHC Corporation of North America, a Wood Dale, Illinois-based foreign-owned manufacturer, was awarded a General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule Federal Supply Schedule contract for laboratory incubators and related temperature-controlled storage equipment effective from April 5, 2006, through April 4, 2026. The contract, with a $64.8 million ceiling value, covers Special Item Number 66, which encompasses laboratory incubators designed to maintain moderate temperatures for chemical reactions and biological cell growth, including hybridization incubators for nucleic acid and protein blot processing, freezer-incubators for poikilothermic organism research and drug stability testing, anaerobic incubators for oxygen-free environments, and environmental incubators for biological and chemical oxygen demand measurement. The General Services Administration's Federal Acquisition Service awarded this multiple-award indefinite delivery vehicle with no set-aside designation, enabling federal agencies to procure specialized laboratory equipment through standardized, competitively-priced mechanisms. Delivery of products is available to the 48 contiguous states, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, U.S. territories, and to consolidation points for overseas activities, with typical delivery times of 10-15 days.

Under this Federal Supply Schedule contract, PHC Corporation has fulfilled numerous task orders from civilian federal agencies including the National Institutes of Health, National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Department of Veterans Affairs, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and the Office of Naval Research. Task order awards span from approximately $11,500 to $583,231, procuring ultra-low temperature freezers at -80 degrees Celsius and -86 degrees Celsius, cryogenic freezers at -150 degrees Celsius, biomedical and pharmaceutical refrigerators, plant growth chambers with temperature and humidity controls, undercounter refrigerator-freezer combinations, and related accessories. The majority of task orders are structured as firm fixed-price delivery orders with no set-aside designations and completion dates extending through 2026, with performance occurring primarily at PHC's Wood Dale facility or at agency-specified locations nationwide. Additionally, PHC Corporation maintains a $10 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the National Institutes of Health Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations, valid through March 31, 2026, which serves as the primary indefinite delivery vehicle facilitating efficient procurement of medical and scientific instruments across multiple NIH institutes and supporting the federal government's biomedical research infrastructure.

SIN: 66 148LABORATORY incubators are designed to accurately maintain moderate temperaturesfor chemical reactions or the optimization of biological cell growth. Hybridization incubators in this category process nucleic acid and protein blots; DNA sequences are detected with labeled nucleic acid and probes. Hybridization incubators have microprocessor controls and forced air circulation. . Freezer/incubators are available for research on poikilothermic (body temperature regulated by surrounding atmosphere) organisms, drug stability tests , serum studies and enzyme assays; designs include over /under temperature safety limits , forced air circulation, automatic defrost cycles and compressor overload safety cut-offs. Anaerobic incubators provide oxygen free environments for tests on samples that aredamaged or degraded by the presence of oxygen. Environmental incubators are available for BOD (biological oxygen demand) and COD (chemical oxygen demand) organic matter measurement tests.
