About this opportunity
NOAA intends to negotiate and award on a sole-source basis a firm fixed-price purchase order to Loligo Systems ApS for an automated, multi-channel aquatic respirometry system and compatible experimental chambers, with capabilities statements due August 6, 2026 by 1300 Eastern Time. This procurement is a simplified acquisition under FAR 12.102(a) and 41 U.S.C. 1901, not subject to competitive set-aside.
The system will support the Northeast Fisheries Science Center, Fisheries Ecology Branch at the James J Howard Marine Science Laboratory in Highlands, New Jersey. The requirement consists of two add-on resting respirometry systems, each with minimum 4-channel automation capability operating on standard US electrical configuration (110V/60Hz), including high-precision vertical acrylic chambers (190 mm internal diameter, 800 mm length) and four additional chambers (240 mm ID, 250 mm depth), plus four custom-molded O-rings engineered for 190 mm ID chambers to maintain gas-tight, hermetic seals. The systems must natively integrate with the laboratory's existing AutoResp 3.0 automated respirometry software to control automated cycles and acquire real-time oxygen consumption data for measuring metabolic rates and physiological responses of aquatic organisms.
The period of performance is 90 days from award with delivery expected within 6–8 weeks to occur during normal business hours, Monday through Friday. Market research confirmed Loligo Systems' prior successful fulfillment of specialized research instrumentation for NOAA; evaluation of alternate domestic manufacturers (Sable Systems International and Qubit Systems) revealed incompatibility with existing equipment and software infrastructure. The NAICS code is 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing).
Interested vendors must submit capabilities statements with technical data and cost information demonstrating capability to meet specifications, received by the established due date.
