What this contract is for

Agency: HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, DEPARTMENT OF / FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION
Location: College Park, MD
Set-aside: No Set aside used
NAICS: 334516
Scope: Federal

The focus of this requisition is to acquire a new WD-XRF spectrometer that will allow the program continuity to support the FDA’s mission-critical Color Certification Program.

The new XRF spectrometer will be used for high throughput sample determinations of elemental impurities in certifiable color additives to support the certification (or rejection) of certifiable color additives as required under 21 CFR Part 74.

Additionally, the instrument will be used for research in developing new methods for the Color Certification Program, and for the analysis of regulatory samples of unknown elemental composition.

We are requesting a new WDXRF instrumentation with guaranteed service support that can provide timely maintenance and repairs.

Official solicitation and documents

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.
Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
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.
