About this opportunity
The Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Acquisition Management has issued a Request for Information (RFI) seeking sources for standard biotools supplies under NAICS code 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing). This pre-solicitation notice is for information and planning purposes only and does not constitute a formal solicitation or commitment for a contract award. The procurement requires "Brand Name or Equal" items with FOB Destination terms, and only qualified sellers meeting the small business size standard of 1,000 employees may submit responses. Interested parties must submit questions through the Unison Global marketplace platform, with all questions needing to be received within a reasonable time before the response deadline. The response period runs from August 15, 2025, through August 29, 2025, at 15:00 Eastern Time, with detailed line items and terms available through the marketplace link.
This procurement opportunity is unrestricted with no set-aside designation applied, making it open to businesses of all sizes within the analytical laboratory instrument manufacturing sector. The notice does not identify any current incumbents or specify potential award values or budget ranges for the biotools supplies procurement. No specific quantities of goods or service timelines are detailed in the available information, though the Laboratory Equipment and Supplies PSC category (6640) indicates the procurement falls within standard scientific instrumentation. The EPA has structured this as Notice ID PR-ORD-25-02208 and incorporates provisions from Federal Acquisition Circular 2025-05. Responses and vendor interactions will be facilitated entirely through the third-party Unison Global marketplace platform rather than traditional government contracting systems.
