Mass Spectrometry PFA Vials

The Department of the Air Force Space Command is seeking to procure 1,000 specialized Perfluoroalkoxy (PFA) mass spectrometry vials for its Radiochemistry Laboratory at Patrick Space Force Base, Florida. The solicitation (FA252125QB075) requires round-bottom laboratory vials with precise specifications, including a 7 mL volume, dimensions of 37.1 mm tall by 27.4 mm wide, and ultra-low background levels of trace metals, particularly Uranium. The government intends to evaluate and award the contract without discussions, expecting offerors to submit their best initial technical and pricing terms. Potential vendors must submit all questions by May 7, 2025, at 2:00 PM EST, with final quotes due by May 14, 2025, at 2:00 PM EST. The evaluation will focus on meeting the stringent technical requirements for chemical resistance, contamination prevention, and precise dimensional specifications.

This procurement is designated as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS category 327212 (Other Pressed and Blown Glass and Glassware Manufacturing), with a size standard of 1,250 employees. The contract specifies a delivery timeline of 90 days after order receipt, with vials to be shipped directly to Patrick Space Force Base in Florida. While specific award value details are not explicitly stated, the procurement covers 1,000 specialized laboratory vials designed for mass spectroscopy applications. The product must demonstrate exceptional performance characteristics, including resistance to strong corrosive chemicals and durability against melting or leaking during chemical contact. Potential vendors should carefully review the detailed salient characteristics document to ensure complete compliance with the Air Force Radiochemistry Laboratory's exacting technical requirements.
