About this forecast
The Food and Drug Administration's Office of Pharmaceutical Quality Research is seeking to procure DM-KCM and K-Vision installations for integration with their existing Coperion K-Tron continuous powder feeders. The requirement involves installing Human Machine Interface (HMI) controllers and establishing connections to enable five feeders (three QT20 models, one KT20 model, and one MT12 model) to operate as an integrated continuous manufacturing line under supervised conditions. The solicitation is forecasted to be released on December 1, 2025, with an estimated award date of January 1, 2026.
The estimated award value ranges from $10,000 to $25,000, and the procurement will involve the installation of five KCM controllers and K-Vision operator interface equipment to provide centralized monitoring and control capabilities. This is a new requirement with no set-aside restrictions, classified under NAICS code 334516 for Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing. Interested contractors should contact the FDA's Acquisition Liaison at cderacquisitions@fda.hhs.gov for additional information regarding this opportunity.
Forecast text
The Office of Pharmaceutical Quality Research (OPQR) supports the modernization of pharmaceutical manufacturing by conducting regulatory science research on emerging technologies. Continuous process monitoring and manufacturing process control are critical for establishment of a robust process that can consistently produce product of desired quality, while identifying and mitigating manufacturing risks.
Currently, OPQR possesses three Coperion K-Tron QT20 continuous powder feeders, one Coperion K-Tron KT20 continuous powder feeder, and one Coperion K-Tron MT12 continuous powder feeder. All five feeders are to be used with an integration platform. However, the integration platform lacks a mounting space for the Human Machine Interface (HMI) controllers associated with each of the five feeders that allow users to monitor and control the feeders. The five HMI controllers (Coperion K-Tron Control Modules, or "KCMs") connect to a feeder operator interface known as "K-Vision" that is used to control all five feeders from a single location. Connections to the HMI controllers, including all five KCMs and the K-Vision, are required to be installed in order to integrate the feeders into a CM line for operation under supervised conditions.
