TrueOne 2400 Metabolic Measurement Resting Only System

The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), a division of the National Institutes of Health under the Department of Health and Human Services, is seeking quotations for a TrueOne 2400 Metabolic Measurement Resting Only System, a specialized commercial analytical instrument used for metabolic research. This procurement encompasses a comprehensive metabolic measurement package including a Compact Analyzer Module, Paramagnetic Oxygen Analyzer, Infrared Carbon Dioxide Analyzer, computer system, breathing circuits, calibration equipment, and associated warranties. Vendors must provide their Unique Entity Identifier (UEI), Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN), and business size certification with their quotations. The primary evaluation criterion centers on obtaining an identical metabolic measurement system to support ongoing research initiatives at NICHD. Quotations must be submitted via email to Kelly Robinson by January 12, 2026 at 12:00 PM EST, establishing the critical deadline for all interested vendors.

This procurement is designated as a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for a commercial item, with the procurement intended for Parvomedics, Inc., the original equipment manufacturer, to be awarded without full and open competition. The NAICS classification is 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) with a small business size standard of $34,000,000, and the PSC category is 6640 (Laboratory Equipment and Supplies). While the primary solicitation indicates a small business set-aside, a related Standard Form 1449 on file shows a concurrent Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) set-aside for research and software development services with a period of performance from March 30, 2026 to March 29, 2027. No specific contract value or quantity details beyond a quantity of one unit are disclosed in the available documentation, though the specialized nature and comprehensive components of the metabolic measurement system suggest a substantial procurement value typical for laboratory instrumentation of this type.
