Environmental Conditions Monitoring System

The Georgia Department of Agriculture, Laboratory Division, is soliciting quotes to replace its aging environmental conditions monitoring system that currently oversees fifty-eight critical units across laboratory facilities in Tifton and Atlanta, Georgia. These units include refrigerators, freezers, ultra-low freezers, incubators, forced-air drying ovens, and laboratory rooms, all of which require continuous monitoring of temperature and humidity levels to ensure proper storage and experimental conditions. The new system must reliably transmit signals through diverse building materials, including cement block structures, and suppliers must ensure full compatibility with existing infrastructure. Response submissions are due by August 21, 2026, and all proposals will be evaluated based on technical capability, compliance, and cost, with preliminary results made public after the deadline and before final award. Suppliers may be asked to submit catalog pages, manufacturer documentation, or specification sheets referenced in the Cost Worksheet, and failure to provide such information may result in rejection of their offer. The solicitation, identified as 40200-eRFQ-001866-2027, was posted on August 7, 2026, and follows a formal RFQ process open to all qualified suppliers. The State Entity intends to publicly announce the names of all participating suppliers alongside evaluation results prior to final contract award, subject to any protest processes. Procurement is managed by the Georgia Department of Agriculture with Quentin Moore listed as the primary point of contact, reachable via phone and email. The contract will be awarded based on a comprehensive assessment of technical feasibility, reliability, and compliance with all specified requirements, with no set-aside provisions indicated. Suppliers must adhere strictly to submission guidelines to avoid disqualification, and all awarded contracts will be publicly disclosed following resolution of any objections.
