Wireless Laboratory Equipment Temperature Monitoring System

The Food and Drug Administration's Atlanta Human and Animal Food Laboratory is procuring a complete wireless laboratory equipment temperature monitoring system featuring 900 MHz wireless technology to continuously monitor approximately 140-156 temperature monitoring points across multiple laboratory refrigerators, freezers, incubators, water baths, and ovens. The system must be FDA OIM Master Approved Technology list compliant and ITIM/MAT approved, with software meeting 21 CFR Part 11 requirements for real-time gap-free monitoring and alert notifications. Key requirements include A2LA accreditation for the vendor, compatibility with existing Viewpoint server infrastructure, support for user-definable tolerances with immediate out-of-tolerance notifications, and annual NIST-traceable calibrations by A2LA-accredited laboratories. Award will be made to the lowest price technically acceptable and responsible offeror on a Firm-Fixed Price basis. Proposals must be submitted by email to howard.nesmith@fda.hhs.gov by April 15, 2026, at 1:00 PM Central Standard Time, with an addendum extending the original April 13 deadline and providing additional clarification on security requirements, scope, and floor plans.
