About this opportunity
The United States Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service is procuring an Oxford Nanopore PromethION P24 A100 Device with a 12-month warranty and license for genomic or molecular biology research purposes. This acquisition is structured as a firm-fixed-price delivery order under NAICS code 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) using a "brand name or equal" approach, where vendors may propose equivalent alternatives but bear the burden of proof for technical acceptability. The government will evaluate proposals using the Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable (LPTA) methodology, giving equal weight to price and risk factors when assessing "equal" products. All Information and Communications Technology must comply with Section 508 Accessibility Standards and IPv6 requirements, with contractors responsible for providing Accessibility Conformance Reports and remediation at no government cost. Quotes are due September 12, 2025, at 12:00 P.M. EST, with the government citing unusual and compelling urgency for the shortened response timeframe.
This solicitation is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting competition to qualified small businesses under the applicable size standards. The procurement does not identify any incumbent contractors or provide specific budget ranges, though the requirements list indicates placeholder pricing that will be completed by responding vendors. The contract requires delivery within 60 days after award to the USDA-ARS-PWA-DKI-USPBARC facility in Hilo, Hawaii 96720, with the equipment being delivered to Scott Geib at that location. Vendors must provide comprehensive pricing information including brand name part numbers, item descriptions, quantities, unit prices, and total costs, with any transition costs for "equal" products listed as separate Contract Line Item Numbers. The government plans to award a single delivery order to the vendor submitting the most advantageous quote based on the established evaluation criteria.
