Two (2) environmental DNA (eDNA) autosamplers with integrated sensors

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center is soliciting quotes for two environmental DNA (eDNA) autosamplers with integrated sensors through a combined synopsis/solicitation under simplified acquisition procedures. The required equipment must be capable of operating at depths exceeding 1000 meters, support long-term deployment, accommodate multiple filter types, and be sterilizable at sea. The autosamplers must feature programmable filtering rates and depths, along with integrated sensors for measuring depth, temperature, salinity, and potentially dissolved oxygen. Quotes are due by 12:00 PM HST on September 3, 2025, and must be submitted electronically to Stephanie.M.Garnett@noaa.gov. The evaluation will prioritize technical approach and past performance as significantly more important than price, and offerors must provide two references from recent similar contracts and confirm the country of origin for the equipment.

This procurement is designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 334512 (Automatic Environmental Control Manufacturing) with a size standard of 650 employees. No incumbent contractors or potential award values are specified in the solicitation materials. The quantity requirement is specifically for two eDNA autosampler units, with delivery required no later than September 30, 2025. Performance will occur at the successful contractor's facility, where delivery of the equipment must be completed. Offerors must also submit a Secure Software Development Software Attestation form as part of their quote submission requirements.
