About this opportunity
The Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service is seeking to procure analytical laboratory supplies through an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for all FSIS labs. The procurement covers three specific types of analytical UPLC columns with varying specifications for C18 and C8 stationary phases, ranging from 50-150 millimeters in length with different particle sizes, plus pre-weighed QUECHERS sorbent kits with weak cation exchange properties. This combined synopsis/solicitation follows FAR 12.6 format supplemented with FAR 13 provisions, and contractors must provide all specified column types and sorbent kits meeting exact technical specifications including specific pore sizes, particle dimensions, and tube volumes. The solicitation was posted on September 2, 2025, with responses due by September 12, 2025, providing only a 10-day response window. The government has indicated that evaluation criteria and additional requirements are detailed in the attached documents, though these specifics are not elaborated in the main solicitation notice.
This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 334516 for Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing. The government confirmed there was a previous incumbent contractor performing these services but declined to provide vendor information or contract details, directing interested parties to submit FOIA requests for such information. No award values, budget ranges, or specific quantities are disclosed in the solicitation notice, though the IDIQ structure suggests variable ordering amounts over the contract period. The place of performance is specified as Normandy, Missouri 63121, indicating the supplies will support FSIS laboratory operations in that location. The procurement falls under PSC category 6640 for Laboratory Equipment and Supplies, emphasizing the specialized nature of these analytical chemistry consumables required for food safety testing operations.
