About this opportunity
The National Institutes of Health, National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) intends to solicit two water-cooled chiller units for helium reliquifiers supporting nuclear magnetic resonance research, with a pre-solicitation notice response deadline of August 6, 2026. The chiller units are non-set-aside and required to support two helium reliquifier systems that will serve NMR magnets in buildings 5 and 8 on the NIH campus in Bethesda, Maryland. The procurement specifies water-cooled rather than air-cooled units to prevent excessive heating in the rooms containing the NMR magnets. Each chiller unit must provide constant chilled water flow to remove heat generated during the helium reliquification process. Haskris Co. has submitted notice of intent to compete. The Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations (part of HHS NIH) is the contracting organization under solicitation number 75N98026Q00896HASKRISCO. NAICS 333415 (air-conditioning and warm air heating equipment and commercial and industrial refrigeration equipment manufacturing) and PSC 2930 (engine cooling system components, nonaircraft) apply to this procurement.
Notice text
The mission of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) is to conduct and support medical research and research training and to disseminate science-based information on diabetes and other endocrine and metabolic diseases; digestive diseases, nutritional disorders, and obesity; and kidney, urologic, and hematologic diseases, to improve people’s health and quality of life.
The Solid-State NMR and Biomolecular Physics Section (SSNMRBPS) of the Laboratory of Chemical Physics, National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases carries out research on the molecular structures and interactions of proteins and protein assemblies with important roles in biology and human disease. This research depends on nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements that are performed in helium-cooled superconducting magnets. To eliminate requirements for periodic helium refills of two NMR magnets, located in buildings 5 and 8 on the NIH campus in Bethesda, MD, SSNMRBPS is currently procuring two helium reliquifier systems. These helium reliquifier systems require a constant flow of chilled water to remove heat that is generated in the helium reliquification process. It is therefore necessary to procure two chiller units, which will be used in conjunction with the helium reliquifier systems. The two chiller units must be water-cooled (rather than air-cooled) to avoid excessive heating within the rooms that contain the NMR magnet
