About this opportunity
PROCUREMENT CANCELED. The Food and Drug Administration's Center for Veterinary Medicine cancels solicitation 75F40126Q133840 for lease of a 1,500-gallon liquid nitrogen tank, vaporizer, and refill agreement at its Laurel, Maryland facility due to agency organizational restructuring and decommissioning of the requiring laboratory unit. The Government will not reimburse vendors for proposal or quote preparation costs.
The solicitation had been issued as a full and open competition RFQ with quotes originally due July 31, 2026, extended by Amendment A00001 to August 24, 2026 at 12:00 PM Central Time, and further amended by Amendment A00002 on August 18, 2026 to add FAR clause 52.217-8 evaluation language.
Place of performance was the FDA facility at 8401 Muirkirk Road, MOD 2, Laurel, MD 20708. The NAICS code was 325120 (Industrial Gas Manufacturing) with a small business size standard of 1,200 employees; PSC code was 6830 (Gases: Compressed and Liquefied).
The requirement spanned a base year (September 30, 2026 through September 29, 2027) plus four optional years. The Government estimated 2,600 gallons monthly consumption (31,200 gallons annually) with a guaranteed minimum purchase of 200 gallons for the base year, priced on a firm-fixed-unit-price basis. Technical acceptability required pass/fail evaluation of supply continuity monitoring, fleet and production facility redundancy (more than one delivery truck and more than one production plant within 100 miles), seamless transition methodology without operational disruption, and Certificates of Analysis confirming 99.998% purity with each delivery. Award would have been made to the lowest-priced technically acceptable quoter. A mandatory site visit was scheduled for August 3, 2026 at 10:00 AM Eastern Time.
