The procurement seeks dual wavelength forensic lasers and full spectrum color imaging systems for use in three forensic laboratories located in Wichita, Kansas; Atlanta, Georgia; and Beltsville, Maryland. The government will evaluate responses based on companies' demonstrated ability to meet detailed minimum technical specifications, including laser output requirements, imaging system capabilities, software interfaces, and warranty provisions. Responses must include company information, CAGE code, UEI, business size status, socio-economic certifications, and a detailed capability statement explaining how the respondent will fulfill the technical requirements. The RFI response deadline is January 29, 2026, with all inquiries required to be submitted in writing, as phone calls will not be accepted.
This is a pre-solicitation notice with no set-aside designation for this NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) procurement.
