Replacement Auto DNA Extraction System
Solicitation # NB643060-26-00803
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to procure a replacement automated DNA extraction system on a sole source basis from Qiagen Inc. This acquisition, under solicitation number NB643060-26-00803, is necessitated by the discontinuation of the EZ1 instrument currently used by the Applied Genetics Group. The proposed EZ2 Connect instrument is required to ensure continuity in research performance and quality, specifically for extracting nucleic acids from biological materials on various substrates such as bullet casings and buccal swabs. The procurement falls under NAICS code 334516 for Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing. While NIST intends to negotiate directly with Qiagen Inc. to maintain workflow consistency and support large volume extractions, the government is inviting interested parties to submit responses by August 29, 2026, to determine if a competitive procurement is warranted.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Security Technologies Group intends to award a sole source contract to Tech Imaging Services, Inc. for the procurement of high-speed video cameras used for quantitative analysis of impact tests. This acquisition, identified by solicitation number NB643100-26-01509, is driven by the need for full synchronization and software compatibility with NIST's existing Photron camera systems and the Photron FASTCAM Viewer software. Utilizing a single manufacturer prevents the need for additional software training, avoids the rewriting of custom analysis software for different meta-data formats, and eliminates the recurring costs associated with maintaining multiple control packages. The requirement falls under NAICS code 333316 for Photographic Equipment Manufacturing. While NIST intends to negotiate directly with Tech Imaging Services as the sole domestic authorized distributor for Photron USA, interested parties capable of fulfilling these requirements may submit responses to the government by August 29, 2026. The government will use these responses to determine if a competitive procurement is necessary.
