About this forecast
The Food and Drug Administration's Office of Pharmaceutical Quality Research is seeking to procure installation services for Human Machine Interface (HMI) controllers and K-Vision systems for their existing Coperion K-Tron continuous powder feeders. The contract aims to integrate five powder feeders with an integration platform by installing HMI controllers and connecting them to a centralized K-Vision operator interface. The estimated solicitation release is scheduled for November 1, 2025, with an anticipated contract award date of January 1, 2026.
While specific award values are not disclosed, the contract involves installing HMI controllers for three Coperion K-Tron QT20, one KT20, and one MT12 continuous powder feeders to enable comprehensive monitoring and control capabilities. The installation will be performed at the Food and Drug Administration's facility, with the primary objective of supporting pharmaceutical manufacturing modernization and process control research. Christopher Scott (christopher.scott@fda.hhs.gov) from the Food and Drug Administration serves as the primary point of contact for this opportunity in the Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing sector (NAICS 334516).
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.
