Automated Liquid Handling Platform
Solicitation # CBER-2026-135922
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, specifically the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, is seeking a newly manufactured benchtop automated liquid handling platform under solicitation CBER-2026-135922. The required system must include a dedicated Windows control computer with perpetual workstation-bound software for custom protocols, a minimum 15-position deck, and interchangeable 96-channel or 384-channel pipetting heads with independent tip pickup. The platform must be capable of performing serial dilutions with a dispense range of 0.1 to 200 microliters and a maximum deviation of 5 percent. It must fit within a biosafety cabinet measuring 46 by 24 by 30 inches, support 120 pounds without disrupting airflow, and be configurable for future heating, cooling, shaking, and filtration. The contract requires delivery to the FDA White Oak Campus in Silver Spring, Maryland, within 30 days of award, with full installation and system verification completed within 90 days of delivery. The package must include a minimum 12-month manufacturer warranty, ancillary preventative maintenance, and on-site operator training for up to three personnel. While the Agilent Technologies Bravo platform is identified as a meeting the requirements, the government will consider equivalent items that satisfy all salient characteristics.

Brand Name Agilent High-Performance Liquid Chromatograph-Mass Spectrometer (HPLC-MS)
Solicitation # FA860126Q0074
The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center plans to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to Agilent Technologies, Inc. for the procurement of a High-Performance Liquid Chromatograph-Mass Spectrometer (HPLC-MS) to support the Air Force Institute of Technology at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. Extensive market research, including reviews of GSA Advantage, prior procurements, expert input, and a Sources Sought notice, confirmed that Agilent is the only vendor capable of meeting the government’s requirements due to the proprietary nature of its Mass Hunter Software and HPLC-MS system. Any alternative vendor would require a complete overhaul of existing laboratory protocols, training, and data systems, resulting in unacceptable delays and loss of continuity. Agilent has no authorized distributors, and its equipment is uniquely compatible with the Air Force’s current infrastructure. The procurement is justified under Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.103-1, citing the absence of alternative sources, and a formal Justification and Approval has been prepared. Interested parties may submit capability statements demonstrating their ability to deliver a fully compatible HPLC-MS system and software, but submissions must include clear and convincing evidence—not mere assertions—of compliance with the Statement of Work. All responses, questions, and documentation must be emailed to the designated contract specialists and contracting officer by July 30, 2026, at 11:00 AM Eastern Time, with the exact subject line “FA8601-26-Q-0074, High-Performance Liquid Chromatograph-Mass Spectrometer (HPLC-MS)” to avoid processing delays or rejection. Emails with prohibited attachments such as .zip or .exe files will be blocked. This notice is not a competitive solicitation, and the government retains full discretion to proceed without competition regardless of responses received.
