About this opportunity
The United States Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service Livestock Arthropod Pest Research Unit is procuring a Canvas Digital NGS Library system, specifically a contamination-controlled automated workspace for preparing high-quality Oxford Nanopore sequencing libraries. The system must include protocol-guided interface capabilities, zone-based contamination control, integrated magnetic separation, color and motion feedback systems, and maintain a compact benchtop footprint to standardize library preparation while reducing cross-contamination risks. Based on the attached specifications, the procurement appears to specifically require a MIRO CANVAS set including a VIAFLO pipette (1 channel, 5-125 ml) with Communication/Charging Stand and a pack of 10 Micro Cartridges. The solicitation follows Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation criteria, with awards made to the responsible quoter whose submission is technically acceptable and offers the lowest price. Quotations must be submitted electronically by September 24, 2025, to winston.buchanan@usd.gov, with quotes held firm for 60 calendar days after submission.
This procurement is designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) with a size standard of 1,000 employees. No incumbent contractors or potential award values are specified in the solicitation documents. The goods must be delivered within 30 days of order placement to the USDA facility located at 22675 N Moorefield Road MAB6419 in Edinburg, Texas, under FOB Destination terms. The procurement follows simplified acquisition procedures under FAR Parts 12.6 and 13, indicating this is likely a lower-dollar value acquisition for specialized laboratory equipment. Vendors must maintain active SAM.gov registration and complete required representations and certifications as part of their quotation submission process.
