About this opportunity
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has issued a sources sought notice for establishing a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for Collection Supplies and Laboratory Consumables. This procurement will provide purchasing routes for analytical laboratory consumables and supplies, including shipping supplies, for FSIS Field Service Laboratories, the Accredited Laboratory Program, and the National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System. The BPA will serve three FSIS laboratory locations: the Eastern Laboratory in Athens, Georgia; the Midwestern Laboratory in Saint Louis and Normandy, Missouri; and the Western Laboratory in Albany, California. Interested parties must submit capability statements by July 22, 2025, including organization details, GSA FSS numbers if applicable, and identification of whether they are manufacturers or authorized resellers of the requested items. Key contract requirements include delivering ordered items within 7-14 calendar days, providing Certificates of Analysis with each shipment, and ensuring all media and chemical formulations comply with specific FSIS laboratory guidebook methods. This sources sought notice is for informational purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation or commitment by the government.
The procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and is open to all qualified contractors. The Statement of Work identifies over 300 consumable items and reagents required, ranging from basic laboratory equipment like pipettes, vials, and centrifuge tubes to specialized chemical reagents, culture media, and microbiological supplies. The BPA will feature fully burdened pricing that includes administrative costs and shipping fees, with volume discounts available to the government. No current incumbents or potential award values are specified in the notice, as this is a market research phase to identify capable suppliers. The comprehensive nature of the procurement covers an extensive array of analytical laboratory consumables necessary for FSIS food safety inspection and sample analysis operations across the three laboratory facilities.
