About this opportunity
The Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service seeks a Water Activity Meter (Brand Name Aqualab or Equal) with supporting supplies, with quotations due August 4, 2026, at 5:00 PM Central Time. This is an unrestricted RFQ with no small business set-aside; all responsible sources may submit.
Place of performance is Glenside, PA (delivery to the Food Safety & Intervention Technology facility at 600 East Mermaid Lane, Wyndmoor, PA 19038). Delivery is required within 60 days of award on an F.O.B. destination basis.
The Government seeks a lab-based water activity meter meeting precise technical specifications: read range 0.030 to 1.000 with 0.0001 resolution, chilled-mirror dew point sensor with user-selectable thermoelectric temperature control, accuracy of 0.003 units with 0.001 repeatability, maximum footprint 11 inches by 8 inches by 6 inches, readings in approximately 5 minutes, and an audible alarm upon sample completion. The procurement also includes an Aqualab Starter Kit (part 35000) and 250-pack Sample Cups Bottoms Only (part 30422).
The Government intends one award. Contractors must provide a Certificate of Conformance and demonstrate clear manufacturer traceability; all pricing must be all-inclusive of shipping and applicable fees, with failure to provide complete pricing resulting in exclusion. Evaluation follows lowest price technically acceptable criteria, with only the lowest-priced offer initially evaluated for technical acceptability and past performance. Technical acceptability requires products to meet or exceed all salient characteristics, be clearly identified by brand name and model number, include sufficient descriptive literature demonstrating compliance, and demonstrate authorization to sell from the manufacturer.
The NAICS code is 334516, Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing. Questions are due three days prior to closing via email to shane.pope@usda.gov.
