About this opportunity
The Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service seeks quotations for rumen pH and ORP boluses on a brand-name-only basis from Moonsyst, with quotes due August 13, 2026. The procurement is unrestricted and implements a sole-source justification under simplified acquisition threshold procedures, citing system compatibility with existing installed equipment and the prohibitive cost ($1–2 million) of purchasing alternative base station systems.
Place of performance is Clay Center, Nebraska. The requirement specifies 100 Smart Rumen Bolus pH Units (Item 0001), 10 Smart ORP Bolus Units (Item 0002), 1 Plug & Play Gateway System (Item 0003), and freight delivery (Item 0004), all to be delivered within 45 days of award. The pH boluses must measure 130mm × 32mm, weigh 180 grams, and maintain accuracy of 0.2pH for 90 days, declining to 0.4pH from days 91 to 150, transmitting data to base station every 10 minutes. ORP boluses must match dimensions and weight. The NAICS code is 334516, Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing; PSC is 6640, Laboratory Equipment and Supplies. Small business size standard is 1,000 employees.
Evaluation uses Lowest Price, Technically Acceptable (LPTA) criteria, evaluating the lowest-priced offer first for technical acceptability and past performance ratings; if unacceptable, evaluation proceeds to the next lowest-priced offer. Quotations offering alternate, substitute, or equal products will be deemed technically unacceptable. Award is anticipated as a firm-fixed-price purchase order. Offerors must be actively registered in SAM.gov at time of submission and submit quotes in Adobe PDF format. The period for offer acceptance extends through September 30, 2026. Contracting officer is Kristine M. Stout.
