Large Scale Lab Reactor for DHS/S&T

The Department of Homeland Security's Office of Procurement Operations seeks to award a contract for one Optimax 1001 automated reactor system equipped with Raman spectroscopy and particle tracking accessories from Mettler-Toledo. The reactor is required by DHS's Transportation Security Laboratory to perform hazardous chemical syntheses and optimize explosive compound production processes remotely and safely. Offerors must meet requirements for remote operation, automatic shutdown, reaction monitoring and multi-feed capabilities. Proposals are due by September 23, 2023 and will be evaluated based on the offeror's ability to meet the statement of work and deliver the system within 60 days of award.

There is no set-aside designated for this procurement. The primary NAICS code is 334516 and PSC code is 6640. The estimated contract value for one system from the current incumbent Mettler-Toledo is $745,351 to be delivered to the DHS laboratory in Atlantic City, NJ within 60 days of award. The equipment will be covered under a two-year warranty and maintenance agreement.
