Alpha Helix and Beta Sheet Structure Sets - Secondary Structure 1-Group Set - 3d molecular designs and 9 more items

Colonial Scientific Inc was awarded a contract by Piedmont Virginia Community College on July 30, 2026, to supply three-dimensional molecular design educational materials with a cumulative value of $4,021.72. The contract encompasses ten line items consisting of scientific modeling kits and structural demonstration sets designed for secondary and higher education instruction in molecular biology and biochemistry. The deliverables include specialized educational products such as protein structure models (Alpha Helix and Beta Sheet Structure Sets), membrane transport kits (Phospholipid and Membrane Transport Kit, Mosaic Membrane Mighty Model), genetic material models (DNA Starter Kit, Chromosome Student Modeling Pack, Nucleotide Student Modeling Pack), enzyme demonstration kits, and amino acid modeling components (Amino Acid Building Block Models, Amino Acid Starter Kit). Unit prices range from $19.14 to $319.02 per item, with most line items comprising quantities of six units.

While specific performance location details are not explicitly stated in the contract documentation, the award was administered through Piedmont Virginia Community College, indicating the materials will support instructional activities within the Virginia community college system. The contract represents a procurement of educational laboratory equipment and molecular modeling supplies intended to enhance scientific instruction and student comprehension of complex biochemical and genetic structures. The cumulative contract value of $4,021.72 reflects a modest educational equipment acquisition consistent with community college budget allocations for science department laboratory supplies and instructional materials.
