About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service is seeking a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) system through Request for Quotation (RFQ) 1232SA25Q0771. The system must include sophisticated components such as a quaternary pump with multi-solvent blending, a temperature-controlled split-loop sampler, a column compartment with thermostatting capabilities, a diode array detector with 3D data acquisition, and an electrochemical detector for analytical quantification of neurochemicals and monoamines. Technical specifications require precise capabilities including a 400μL mixer, integrated vacuum degasser, 25μL sample loop, and the ability to operate at post-column pressures up to 120 bar. The evaluation will use a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) methodology with two factors: Technical Capability assessed on a Pass/Fail basis and Price evaluation for reasonableness. Quotes are due September 12, 2025, with potential quoters required to submit electronic quotes including pricing, technical packages demonstrating capability, and complete SAM.gov representations and certifications.
This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) with a size standard of 1,000 employees. The contract calls for the delivery of one complete HPLC system with delivery required within 60 days after award to the Poultry Production and Product Safety Research Unit located at 1260 W Maple Street, Fayetteville, Arkansas 72701. The procurement includes requirements for onsite installation, support, and training, along with extended warranties on core components and a C18+ 50mm column. While no specific contract value is disclosed in the solicitation documents, the sophisticated nature of the equipment and comprehensive support requirements suggest a substantial investment. The government reserves the right not to make an award based on quote quality and fund availability, and delivery terms are specified as FOB Destination.
