Engineering Evaluation of Laboratory Biological Safety Cabinets (BSCs) FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine, Office of Applied Science (OAS)

Scope of Work

CVM-2025-126301

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background

The Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM), Office of Applied Science (OAS), operates a large, multi-disciplinary laboratory facility on the FDA Muirkirk Road Complex, where it conducts applied research to fulfill its mission of protecting human and animal health.

OAS utilizes biological safety cabinets (BSCs) in many of its research laboratories. BSCs are enclosed ventilated workspaces that are designed to protect the worker, the product, and the environment from biohazards and some chemical hazards. Third-party, independent, testing and certification of the BSCs is performed annually under CVM’s safety program to ensure the BSCs are working properly. Multiple OAS BSCs are currently unusable due to failing airflow tests and/or the unavailability of parts needed for repairs. Due to the age of the BSCs, OAS intends to replace the units with new models that are compatible with the existing laboratory HVAC systems.

1.2 Objectives

The objective of this requirement is to perform and obtain an engineering assessment on the OAS BSCs which are not meeting certification or will be replaced due to age, with an emphasis on the associated HVAC and control systems which serve the units. The main goal of the assessment is to provide data that will determine the specifications, and any requirement limitations, such as exhaust airflows and static duct pressures, that OAS can then use to select appropriate replacement BSCs (follow-on action to be procured and installed via a separate action in the future). The specific BSCs to be included in the assessment are listed in below in Table 1.0.

2.0 TASK REQUIREMENT

The Contractor is to provide mechanical and electrical engineering analysis services on

(6) ducted biological safety cabinets (BSCs) in the laboratories of CVM/OAS (see Table

1.0 for list of units). The assessment shall include examination of the existing BSCs, a review of the causes for why units are failing certification, conditions of the HVAC and control systems serving the BSCs to help determine potential replacement options, and a rough order-of-magnitude cost estimate for replacements, including installation cost.

Specifically, the contractor shall perform at minimum, but not limited to the following activities:

1. Airflow measurements of each of the Table 1.0 referenced BSCs and their associated HVAC/ exhaust ductwork to include:

a. Airflow measurements through the BSC.

b. Inlet and outlet airflows and static pressures at each exhaust fan serving the

BSCs.

c. Inlet static pressures of each air terminal valve in the BSCs’ associated exhaust ductwork.

d. Airflow measurements for each supply air device in the laboratories which house the BSCs.

e. Differential pressure measurements across the laboratory doors to verify negative pressurization in the lab.

2. A review of the building automation system (BAS) controlling the exhaust systems serving the BSCs, to include verification of correct sequences of operation.

3. Production of a report which summarizes the assessment and includes findings and recommendations. The development of the report shall be structured as follows:

a. A pre-final report, which will be submitted for review and comment by FDA

(FDA’s comment period shall be a minimum of 14 working days).

b. A final report.

c. The final report shall include a rough order of magnitude cost for new, compatible, replacement BSC’s, including cost for installation.

5. A kickoff meeting on site.

6. Up to 4 virtual meetings, if needed.

3.0 DELIVERABLES

1. Pre-Final Report

2. Final Report

The content requirements, to include format for deliverables identified above and the due dates without a specific date will be mutually agreed upon by the COR and the Contractor after award and in accordance with documents provided to the Contractor by the COR/Government.
