About this opportunity
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration Office of Testing and Research St. Louis Laboratory is procuring two Thermo Scientific Exploris 120 Orbitrap Mass Spectrometry and Ultra-High Performance Liquid Chromatography (UHPLC) systems, or equivalent equipment, to support testing and research on nitrosamine impurities in drug products. The systems must provide high-resolution, accurate mass measurements with a mass range of 40-3000 m/z for analyzing small nitrosamines and drug substance related impurities in prescription and over-the-counter pharmaceuticals. The procurement includes delivery, installation, qualification, instrument familiarization training, and one-year post-warranty maintenance services. The contract encompasses a base performance period of approximately 17 months, including 90 days for initial delivery and installation plus instrument training, followed by a one-year initial warranty period. The solicitation has been issued as a Request for Quotation with responses due by September 18, 2025, just six days after the posting date of September 12, 2025.
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. The contract includes an optional 12-month preventative maintenance period following the initial warranty coverage. The FDA specifically selected the Exploris 120 systems as a cost-effective alternative to the more expensive Exploris 480 model, noting they will adequately meet the agency's analytical testing requirements at approximately half the cost. The equipment will be delivered and installed at the FDA facility in St. Louis, Missouri 63110. The solicitation is being managed directly by the Department of Health and Human Services Food and Drug Administration Office of Acquisition and Grant Services, with the procurement classified under PSC code 6640 for Laboratory Equipment and Supplies.
