Added: May 22, 2015 2:55 pm The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Office of Regulatory Affairs (ORA)-Southeast Regional Laboratory (SRL) has a need for a cigarette physical testing machine for the purpose of supporting new tobacco product submissions at Center for Tobacco Products. The requested instrument is a compact, rack mounted modular device that performs several physical parameter measurements in an automatic unattended fashion. These physical parameters are used to describe a tobacco product and can be used to correlate product design features to regulatory tests results; manual measurement of these parameters is tedious, time consuming and subject to human error.

This solicitation is a Request for Quote (RFQ) using FAR Parts 12 and 13 procedures. The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2005-82.
