About this opportunity
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Human Foods Program is seeking to procure a specialized Optical-Photothermal Infrared-Raman-Fluorescence (O-PTIR-R-FL) microscope system to support micro- and nanoplastics analysis in food products. The required system must be a newly manufactured mIRage-LS microscope with sub-micron spatial resolution capabilities, featuring simultaneous O-PTIR, Raman, and fluorescence imaging modes, along with comprehensive control software and analysis capabilities. Key technical requirements include a quantum cascade laser, 532 nm probe laser, motorized x-y stage, dual camera integration, and support for imaging, line scanning, and single point data collection across multiple infrared ranges. The procurement will be evaluated using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) approach, with contractors required to demonstrate technical compliance with specifications and provide corporate experience information. The deadline for vendor questions was July 7, 2025, with quotation submissions due by July 18, 2025 at 12:00 PM ET, and quotes must remain valid for 90 calendar days.
This procurement is structured as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) with a size standard of $30 million or less in annual receipts. While no specific award value is disclosed in the solicitation documents, the contractor must deliver, install, and demonstrate the complete system within 20 weeks after contract award, with delivery required prior to September 30, 2025. The scope includes comprehensive on-site installation, three days of user training, and a minimum twelve-month warranty covering parts and labor. Performance will occur at the FDA's Human Foods Program facility located at 9591 Baltimore Ave, College Park, MD 20740, where the microscope will be installed and operated to develop and validate qualitative and quantitative methods for analyzing contaminants in foods. The solicitation does not identify any incumbent contractors or provide specific budget estimates for this specialized scientific equipment procurement.
