What this contract is for

Agency: DEPT OF DEFENSE / DEPT OF THE ARMY
Location: FORT DRUM, NY
NAICS: 334516
Scope: Federal

We require an instrument that can acquire real-time data from multiple modes of measurement, including monochromator-based fluorescence, UV/Vis absorbance, and luminescence.

We require the following: linear Variable Monochromator, permitting tunable band passes up to 100nm; a tunable dichroic mirror permitting air-based light path for monochromator without light guides or fiberoptics; auto ranging of detector sensitivity and gain for fluorescence measurements below 760,000,000-counts; enhanced Dynamic Range autoranging of detector sensitivity in less than 0.1s; absorbance based on a dedicated spectrometer, not a monochromator.

Complete UV/Vis absorbance spectrum from 220nm-1000nm at 1nm resolution in less than 0.5s with all wavelengths captured simultaneously with a diode array; heated optics.

A heated optical head means that incubated microplate wells remain in a uniform temperature environment even during detection.

The instrument should have a temperature controller than can go up to 45 ?C, bottom reading, two reagent injectors for automated injection for initiating kinetic events and flash luminescence, and an atmospheric control unit with software-controlled CO2 andO2 concentrations for cell culture at 5% CO2.

The unit should come with software for data visualization and analysis.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
This listing has no set-aside restriction ("full and open competition"), meaning any business, large or small, can bid.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
