This file contains a list of pipettes and related equipment requiring calibration and certification services for the State Pesticide Residue Laboratory and State Chemical Laboratory, agencies under the Alabama Department of Agriculture & Industries located at 1171 Wire Road, Auburn, AL 36832. The solicitation requests quotes for onsite pipette calibration and certification services covering 35 individual pipettes and related dispensing equipment across multiple laboratory room locations (112, 120, 124, and 112A). The pipette inventory includes single-channel pipettes from manufacturers such as Brand, Eppendorf, Finnpipette, Gilson, Oxford, Ovation, and Thermo with volume ranges spanning 1-10µL to 2500-25000µL, as well as specialized repeater and bottletop dispenser equipment. All calibration work must be completed by December 31, 2026, with the awarded supplier required to provide onsite service and deliver ISO/IEC 17025 accredited calibration certificates for each serial-numbered instrument.

The solicitation mandates that all calibrations be performed by ISO/IEC 17025 accredited suppliers with NIST traceability capabilities. Single pipettes require 2-point calibration with documented gravimetric data at both low and high-volume ranges, accuracy and precision measurements, measurement uncertainty reporting, and compliance status verification. Repeater pipettes require testing across specified volume settings with exact numerical readings recorded. Each certificate must include pipette make, model, serial number, calculated accuracy and precision values, measurement uncertainty, ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation stamp or NIST traceability statement, and compliance status. The Department of Agriculture & Industries reserves the right to request copies of supplier ISO/IEC 17025 certification documentation. Suppliers requiring assistance with bid submission may contact the Alabama Buys helpdesk at (334) 353-0700.
