3 qpcr systems

The US Geological Survey (USGS) Office of Acquisitions and Grants is conducting market research to identify qualified businesses capable of providing three Quantitative PCR (QPCR) Systems for highly sensitive early detection of invasive species. The technical specifications require two 96-well and one 384-well machines with precise performance parameters, including temperature uniformity of 0.4°C and temperature accuracy of 0.25°C. This sources sought announcement is classified under NAICS code 334516 for Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing and Product Service Code 6640 for Laboratory Equipment and Supplies. Interested vendors must submit electronic product data sheets demonstrating their ability to meet the specified technical requirements directly to yangzhideng@usgs.gov. The submission deadline is April 18, 2025, at 1500 PST, with responses limited to electronic mail submissions only.

The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside designation, meaning all responsible sources may submit proposals. No incumbent contractors or current service providers are mentioned in the documentation. While the announcement does not specify a precise award value or budget range, it emphasizes that this is a market research effort and the government is not committed to contract award. The technical specifications suggest a sophisticated procurement requiring advanced laboratory instrumentation with specific capabilities for molecular detection techniques. The USGS is seeking comprehensive QPCR systems that can support scientific research and invasive species monitoring, with specific requirements for sample capacities, reaction volumes, and fluorescent dye compatibility.
