About this opportunity
The United States Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service is procuring one 450iQ Pulsed Fluorescent H2S/SO2 Analyzer through this combined synopsis/solicitation under RFQ number 1232SA25Q0880. The analyzer must measure sulfide emissions and losses from beef facilities at the USDA Meat Animal Research Center, with specific technical requirements including a 1 L/min flow rate, measurement ranges of 0-10 ppm or 0-25 mg/m3 (with optional extension to 0-100 ppm or 0-250 mg/m3), 1% linearity, and various communication ports including RS-232/485, USB, and ethernet. The procurement follows FAR Part 12.6 commercial item procedures and FAR Part 13 simplified acquisition procedures, requiring vendors to submit electronic quotes demonstrating technical capability and competitive pricing. The government will use a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation methodology, first reviewing the lowest-priced quote for technical acceptability before moving to the next lowest if the first fails. All quotes must be submitted electronically to winston.buchanan@usd.gov by September 23, 2025, with vendors required to maintain active SAM.gov registration and complete electronic representations and certifications.
This procurement is designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 334519 (Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing) with a size standard of 1,000 employees, though the government documents show some inconsistency with one reference to a 600-employee standard. The contract requires delivery of the single analyzer unit within 30 days of order placement, with some documents indicating up to 90 days, on an FOB Destination basis to the USDA Meat Animal Research Center located at 844 Road 313 in Clay Center, Nebraska 68933. The contract period of performance spans from September 17, 2025, to October 17, 2025, suggesting a rapid procurement timeline. No incumbent contractors are identified in the solicitation documents, and no specific award values or budget ranges are disclosed. The procurement specifically calls for a model that can be satisfied by a 450iQ Pulse Fluorescent H2S/SO2 analyzer with options ACNN or an equivalent that meets the detailed technical specifications outlined in the requirements document.
