About this opportunity
The Food and Drug Administration is seeking to procure liquid nitrogen supply services for its San Juan Laboratory in Puerto Rico through a Request for Quote solicitation. The procurement encompasses both the supply of industrial-grade liquid nitrogen and the rental of bulk storage tank equipment to support the laboratory's analytical instrumentation, including four Mass Spectrometers and three FTIR instruments. Contractors must provide liquid nitrogen meeting stringent purity specifications with a minimum 99.998% assay and strict limits on contaminants including oxygen, moisture, and carbon monoxide. The contract will be evaluated using the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable method, with award decisions based on unit pricing for liquid nitrogen and related products calculated against estimated consumption quantities. All quotes must be submitted electronically to Nina.Montgomery@fda.hhs.gov by September 4, 2025, at 10:00 AM Eastern Time, with late submissions excluded from evaluation.
This solicitation does not utilize any small business set-aside designations and no incumbent contractors are identified in the available documentation. The contract structure includes a one-year base period beginning September 8, 2025, with four additional one-year option periods extending potential performance through September 7, 2030. The San Juan Laboratory currently consumes approximately 540 gallons of liquid nitrogen monthly, translating to an estimated annual requirement of 6,480 gallons to maintain operations of its scientific equipment. Performance will occur at the FDA facility located on Calle Recinto Sur in San Juan, Puerto Rico, with the contractor responsible for monitoring tank volumes, conducting scheduled deliveries, providing purity test reports, and maintaining the bulk storage infrastructure. The winning contractor must possess a valid SAM.gov Unique Entity ID and demonstrate capability to meet the laboratory's continuous supply requirements while adhering to FDA quality standards.
