About this forecast
The Food and Drug Administration is forecasting a new requirement for an NTA instrument designed to provide real-time analysis and characterization of microplastics and nanoparticles in food products. The system will measure particle size distribution and concentration in liquid samples while supporting critical research on nanoscale contaminants and enhancing the agency's analytical capacity for detecting and quantifying submicron particles that cannot be adequately characterized by conventional methods. The estimated solicitation release date is May 1, 2026, with an anticipated award date of September 1, 2026.
The estimated award value for this contract ranges from $25,000 to $250,000 under NAICS code 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), with no set-aside provisions. This new requirement was posted on January 31, 2026, and inquiries should be directed to the FDA's Acquisition Liaison at hfpacquisitions@fda.hhs.gov.
