68HERW26Q0077 - Brand Name Cryo Mill
Solicitation # 68HERW26Q0077
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Water intends to award a sole-source contract to Verder Scientific Inc. for the purchase of a Cryo Mill cryogenic grinder, exclusively because it is the only instrument capable of meeting the agency’s specific technical requirements for producing micro- and nanoplastics under 1000 nanometers. The equipment must feature a closed-vial system, stainless steel components to prevent contamination, liquid nitrogen autofill and safety sensors, a minimum 50 mL grinding capacity, compatibility with various grinding slugs or balls, a benchtop footprint under two square feet, multiple interchangeable grinding chambers to avoid cross-contamination, programmable protocol storage, and proven ability to generate reproducible nanoplastic particles—a capability verified by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. No other cryogenic grinder has been demonstrated to fulfill these exacting standards, justifying the sole-source determination under FAR 6.303-1(a)(1). The contract, governed by simplified acquisition procedures below the threshold, is tied to expiring funds and must be awarded by September 30, 2026, with delivery expected by October 30, 2026, to the EPA facility in Narragansett, Rhode Island. The action falls under NAICS Code 334516 and PSC 6630. Though this is not a competitive solicitation, any interested party may submit a capability statement by 4:30 p.m. EDT on August 20, 2026, to demonstrate potential equivalence, though the government retains full discretion to proceed without competition regardless of submissions. All communications must reference solicitation number 68HERW26Q077 and be directed to Charles Fischer at Fischer.charles@epa.gov.
