About this forecast
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is seeking to procure a Nitrogen Generator to enhance laboratory capacity for detecting Campylobacter in shellfish. The procurement is driven by the need to develop a method for identifying microaerophilic bacteria in oysters, requiring a specialized trigas incubator with nitrogen generation capabilities. The estimated solicitation release date is April 1, 2026, with an anticipated contract award by June 1, 2026, under the Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing NAICS code 334516.
No specific award value or budget range is provided in the forecast. The project will be executed at the FDA's laboratory, with Laquia Geathers (laquia.geathers@fda.hhs.gov) serving as the primary point of contact. The contract aims to address increasing Campylobacter illnesses from oyster consumption by establishing advanced laboratory equipment and testing methodologies, with the nitrogen generator being a critical component for creating appropriate bacterial growth conditions.
Forecast text
Nitrogen Generator In response to increasing Campylobacter illnesses from oyster consumption, new equipment is needed to establish laboratory capacity at GCSL to develop a method to detect Campylobacter in shellfish. Campylobacter are microaerophilic bacteria that require trigas incubators to create the appropriate growth conditions, which require a nitrogen generator to alter the gas chemistry within the incubator.
