About this opportunity
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agricultural Research Service (ARS) is seeking a customized plant tissue culture chamber with an ultrasonic humidifier, advanced lighting, and a stacked two-in-one construction to support research at its Plant Science Research Unit in St. Paul, Minnesota. The chamber will be used to improve transformation efficiency and study root architecture of legumes, such as soybean and alfalfa, to develop more robust and hardier crops suited for changing climate conditions. The government will evaluate quotes using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) approach, considering the technical specifications and overall price. Quotes are due by 5:00 PM EDT on August 29, 2024, and any questions should be submitted by August 26, 2024.
This solicitation is set aside for small businesses. The anticipated delivery date for the tissue culture chamber is December 2, 2024, and it will be installed at the USDA Plant Science Research Unit in St. Paul, Minnesota. The NAICS code is 334516 - Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing, and the PSC code is 6640 - Laboratory Equipment And Supplies.

Update #2 · Latest ·
Amendment 0001 posted on 08/29/2024
The purpose of this amendment is to extend the RFQ period for 1134874 one Tissue Culture
Chamber inclusive of shipping and handling, to Falcon Heights, MN. It will now close on
09/04/2024 at 12:00 PM (noon) EST. All other details in this combined synopsis/solicitation
remain the same.
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Plant Science Research Unit has a need for a customized plant tissue culture chamber with an ultrasonic humidifier, advanced lighting to reduce Petri dish lid condensation, and a stacked two-in-one construction to accommodate additional experiments while reducing the overall space footprint. The St. Paul, Minnesota location performs research to improve transformation efficiency of legumes, particularly soybean, and to study legume root architecture. Advancement of these research priorities is expected to permit understanding and development of more robust, hardier legumes suited for agricultural purposes in a changing climate. In order to conduct these studies, delicate tissues of legumes must often be grown or regenerated via tissue culture in incubators with fine-tuned controls which provide optimal growth conditions for these delicate tissues. A new tissue culture chamber with additional controls will improve our ability to successfully execute these studies.
