Laboratory Equipment And Supplies

Product Service Code (PSC) 6640 covers Laboratory Equipment and Supplies, encompassing a wide range of scientific instrumentation, analytical devices, and associated consumables used across federal research, medical, and testing facilities. These products include specialized equipment such as microscopes, spectrometers, chromatography systems, incubators, freezers, and various scientific measurement tools essential for research, diagnostics, and quality control operations. The equipment supports critical scientific work across multiple disciplines including medical research, environmental monitoring, materials science, and advanced technological development.

Federal Contract Awards in this PSC category predominantly feature procurement of sophisticated scientific instruments for agencies like the Department of Veterans Affairs, National Institutes of Health, Environmental Protection Agency, and Department of Agriculture. Award values range from approximately $10,000 to over $700,000, with contract durations typically spanning 12-36 months. Frequently awarded entities include manufacturers like Beckman Coulter, Agilent Technologies, Thermo Fisher Scientific, and Abbott Laboratories. Many awards utilize firm-fixed-price contracts, with set-aside designations including total small business, service-disabled veteran-owned small business, and unrestricted competition. Performance locations are predominantly distributed across federal research centers, medical facilities, and laboratories nationwide.

Recent Federal Contract Opportunities in PSC 6640 focus on acquiring advanced laboratory equipment for specialized research and testing purposes. Solicitations include requests for instruments like directional hemispherical reflectometers, trace gas analyzers, fragment analyzers, flow controllers, and single-frequency lasers. Agencies posting opportunities include the National Institute of Standards and Technology, Department of Defense, Department of Energy, and Department of Agriculture. Many opportunities are designated as small business set-asides, particularly targeting total small business and service-disabled veteran-owned small business categories. Performance locations are primarily located at research facilities in states such as Maryland, Colorado, Wisconsin, Massachusetts, and California, reflecting the geographically distributed nature of federal scientific research infrastructure.
