About this opportunity
The USDA Agricultural Research Service is procuring replacement laboratory equipment for their research facility, specifically seeking three Eppendorf Sparge Gas Drawers with Thermal Mass Flow Controllers (0.002-1 SLPM capacity) and one Eppendorf Water Circulation Module for a BioFlo 320 bioreactor system. This combined synopsis/solicitation (RFQ #1232SA25Q0638) follows FAR Part 12.6 commercial item acquisition procedures and requires the equipment to be 100% compatible with existing Eppendorf BioFlo 320 equipment for continued bioreactor experiment functionality. Offerors must demonstrate technical capability, provide manufacturer authorization letters, and complete required representations and certifications through SAM.gov. The procurement will be evaluated using Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) criteria, with technical capability assessed on a pass/fail basis followed by price evaluation. Quotes are due August 19, 2025, with delivery required within 30 days after receipt of order.
This procurement 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. No incumbent contractors or specific award values are mentioned in the solicitation documents. The quantities are modest, consisting of three sparge gas drawer units and one water circulation module, indicating this is a targeted replacement parts acquisition rather than a large-scale equipment procurement. Performance will occur at the USDA ARS facility located at 600 East Mermaid Lane in Wyndmoor, Pennsylvania, with FOB Destination terms requiring the contractor to handle delivery to the government facility. The 30-day delivery timeline reflects the agency's need for prompt replacement of these critical laboratory components to maintain research operations.
