About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is seeking a contractor to provide analytical UPLC columns and QUECHERS sorbent kits through a one-year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. The procurement includes three specific types of analytical columns with precise specifications for C18 and C8 stationary phases, varying lengths and diameters, and one type of pre-weighed QUECHERS kit with Weak Cation Exchange stationary phase for use in liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry analysis. The supplies will support USDA FSIS laboratories in testing for aminoglycosides and pesticides in the nation's food supply across three laboratory locations. Evaluation will be conducted using Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) methodology, with technical acceptability determined by the ability to meet detailed product specifications. Questions are due by September 24, 2025 at 3:00 p.m. EST, with quotes due September 26, 2025 at 12:00 p.m. EST, and delivery required within 14 calendar days of order receipt.
This solicitation does not utilize any small business set-aside designations and will be available for competition among all qualified contractors. The government confirmed there was a previous incumbent performing these services but will not disclose vendor information, directing interested parties to submit FOIA requests for such details. Order quantities range from 30-450 units for columns and 100-2,500 boxes for sorbent kits, with orders typically placed quarterly throughout the contract period. The contract has a base period of 12 months with a total potential duration not to exceed 60 months, to be awarded as a Firm-Fixed Price arrangement. Performance will occur at three USDA laboratory locations: the Midwestern laboratory in St. Louis, Missouri, the Western laboratory in Albany, California, and the Eastern laboratory in Athens, Georgia.
