This is a specifications document for a federal procurement by the USDA-ARS Aquatic Animal Health Research Unit in Auburn, Alabama.

The procurement seeks to obtain a Vacuum Oven VDO 100, 101L, 230V or an equivalent like model. The equipment must meet specific technical requirements including 230V electrical supply with temperature range capability from a minimum of 5 degrees above ambient temperature up to 200°C. Temperature measurement must be conducted individually through four-wire PT100 sensors for each thermoshelf, with integrated over- and under-temperature alarm protection featuring AutoSafety functionality that automatically follows the setpoint value within a pre-set tolerance range. The vacuum control range must operate between 5 to 1100 mbar. The controller requires two TFT displays, USB port, and Ethernet interface for network connectivity. Additional specifications include an inert gas inlet, 8-pin switch output to control a vacuum pump, a Vacuum Pump model VO101 rated at 230V (±10%), and an additional aluminum thermoshelf for the VDO100 model.
