Mini Implants Manufacturing System

The Food and Drug Administration intends to award a sole source contract to Thermo Fisher Scientific located in Karlsruhe, Germany for a Mini Implants Manufacturing System. The system must include an injection molding machine capable of processing polymers up to 400C with a mold temperature over 200C and injection pressure over 1000 bar within specified dimensions. It must also include a laser-based extrudate calibration and cutting unit with cooling, line speed over 10m/min, cutting speed over 500 cuts/min, and a second cutter. Additionally, the system requires a melt pump to produce constant melt flow over 400 bar under specified dimensions. Accompanying accessories are also specified. The vendor must cover all costs associated with shipping, delivery, installation, and on-site training. Responses are due within seven days of publication.

There is no set-aside designation for this procurement. Thermo Fisher Scientific is identified as the potential incumbent. The Mini Implants Manufacturing System falls under NAICS code 334516 - Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing and PSC code J070 - Injection Molding Machines. The value and quantity requirements are not specified, but the system must meet all technical requirements outlined for manufacturing mini implants.
