Product and Service Code (PSC) 6632-P covers analysis instruments for medical laboratory use, encompassing a wide range of sophisticated diagnostic and research equipment. These instruments are critical for clinical testing, medical research, and healthcare diagnostics, including specialized equipment such as blood analyzers, genetic sequencing systems, microscopes, cell analyzers, and other precision measurement tools used in medical and scientific laboratories. The instrumentation supports various analytical processes including genetic testing, microbiology, pathology, hematology, and other specialized medical research and diagnostic applications.
The federal contract awards in this PSC category demonstrate significant investment in laboratory instrumentation, with contracts ranging from $12,000 to $662,000, typically awarded by agencies like the Department of Veterans Affairs, Indian Health Service, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and Department of Agriculture. Frequent awardees include manufacturers such as Sysmex America, Beckman Coulter, Roche Diagnostics, and Thermo Scientific. Most awards are firm-fixed-price purchase orders or delivery orders, with performance periods generally spanning 12-60 months. While many awards are unrestricted, some utilize small business set-asides, particularly for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses and total small business designations. Performance locations are predominantly at medical centers, research facilities, and laboratories across the United States.
