Robotic Titration

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 5 is seeking to procure a Robotic Titration Instrument for its analytical laboratory operations. This solicitation targets small businesses within the Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing sector, specifically under NAICS code 334516. The contract opportunity, identified by the unique ID 150b3cee069f48c7ba28fe0fa0696306, is focused on acquiring specialized laboratory equipment categorized under Product Service Code 6640 for Laboratory Equipment and Supplies. The solicitation was posted on April 1, 2025, with proposals due by April 14, 2025, indicating a relatively short procurement window for interested vendors. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed in the notice, typical federal procurement standards would likely include factors such as technical capability, compliance with specifications, vendor qualifications, and competitive pricing.

The solicitation is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, meaning only small businesses are eligible to compete for this contract. The place of performance is expected to be within EPA Region 5's jurisdiction, which covers Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin. Although the exact award value is not specified in the notice, government laboratory instrument procurements typically range from $50,000 to $250,000 depending on complexity and specifications. The instrument's purpose appears to be for scientific research or analytical testing, suggesting a precise and potentially sophisticated robotic titration system is required. Vendors interested in this opportunity will need to demonstrate specific technical capabilities in manufacturing advanced analytical laboratory instrumentation and meet the small business qualification requirements to be considered for the contract.
