The requirement specifies autoclaves with an 85L chamber volume, standby heating, closed door drying capability, an in-line particle filter, and a built-in printer that records temperature, cycle duration, real-time data, date, and any operational errors or interruptions during each cycle. Each unit must include two trays, a tray holder, base plate, autoclave stand, one buck boost transformer, power cord, operator’s manual, and a three-year manufacturer’s warranty.

Only offerors that self-certify as an Indian Economic Enterprise under the Buy Indian Act and HHSAR 326.601 are eligible, and continued eligibility must be maintained throughout offer submission, award, and performance. The period of performance is 90 days after award, and payment will be made via electronic funds transfer through SAM.

Failure to submit complete technical documentation or to meet the Indian Economic Enterprise definition at any point during the procurement lifecycle will result in disqualification.
