Brine Shrimp Sample Filtration and Preparation

The contract seeks qualified vendors to filter and prepare brine shrimp samples collected from hypersaline environments for precise trace metal analysis. This work is critical for environmental monitoring and requires adherence to strict protocols to prevent contamination and ensure sample integrity throughout the preparation process. All procedures must be validated to support reliable data outputs for scientific and regulatory applications, with attention to handling, storage, and documentation standards suitable for laboratory-grade analysis. This subcontract, posted under the NAICS code 541380, is open for responses until July 2, 2026, and is managed by the agency of Utah with no set-aside requirements specified. The performance location is not defined beyond the state, and there is no designated point of contact provided in the posting. Interested parties must access the opportunity through the Utah BonfireHub platform to review full requirements and submit proposals. The project is time-sensitive and demands technical expertise in aquatic sample processing, particularly for organisms inhabiting extreme salinity conditions.
