About this opportunity
The USDA Agricultural Research Service is seeking to procure a High Throughput Low Volume Dynamic Array Genomics System through RFQ 1232SA25Q0532, specifically a nano liquid array genomics system for their Pacific Basin Agricultural Research Center facility. The required system must be capable of performing high-throughput genomic analysis including gene expression, genotyping, mutation detection, and copy number variation analysis, with the ability to process either 96 samples with 96 SNP assays or 192 samples with 24 assays. The procurement includes installation by a qualified technician, comprehensive training for both application and instrumentation, and one year of service and repair coverage. The government will evaluate quotes using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) method, with technical capability assessed on a pass/fail basis and price being the determining factor among technically acceptable quotes. Electronic quotes are due by August 19, 2025, and pricing must remain firm for 60 calendar days.
This opportunity is designated as a total small business set aside under NAICS code 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) with a size standard of 1,000 employees. The contract calls for delivery of one complete genomics system to the USDA ARS facility located at 64 Nowelo Street in Hilo, Hawaii 96720, with delivery required within 60 days after contract award. The procurement follows FAR Part 12.6 for commercial items and FAR Part 13 simplified acquisition procedures, indicating this is likely a smaller-value acquisition below the simplified acquisition threshold. Quoters must maintain active SAM.gov registration and complete all required representations and certifications online, with Tracie Matsumoto serving as the primary point of contact for delivery coordination.
