Automated Slide Feeder Mechanism

The contract is for the supply of an automated 4-slide feeder mechanism designed to enable reliable and precise loading and unloading of microscope slides into a scanning system, ensuring seamless integration with existing laboratory workflows. The mechanism must deliver high accuracy and consistent performance to support diagnostic and research applications within a high-throughput environment. This is a subcontract under the FDA Office of Acquisition and Grant Services, part of the Department of Health and Human Services, with the North American Industry Classification System code 333243 designating it specifically to other commercial equipment manufacturing. The solicitation was posted on July 24, 2026, with proposals due no later than August 7, 2026, at 4:00 PM. The place of performance is identified as Silver Spring, Maryland, with a ZIP code of 20993, indicating the equipment will be delivered and installed at a federal facility in this location. No set-aside status is designated, and the contract type is explicitly classified as a subcontract, meaning the offering entity is likely a supplier or manufacturer contracted by a prime contractor rather than directly by the government. The absence of a point of contact or detailed agency address means proposers must rely on the provided SAM.gov link for further instructions and documentation.
