Incubator Shaker System (Triple-Stack Configuration)

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research requires a commercially available Triple-Stack Incubator Shaker System, equivalent to the INFORS HT Multitron, to support mammalian cell culture operations at its Advanced Manufacturing Research Facility in Beltsville, Maryland. The system must provide independent, precise control of temperature, CO₂, humidity, and orbital shaking for each of its three incubation modules and be capable of handling production-relevant working volumes for Chinese hamster ovary suspension cell cultures. All equipment must meet or exceed the specified performance criteria, with equal products subject to rigorous evaluation to ensure technical equivalence. The selected contractor must deliver a fully configured turnkey system including all necessary hardware, software, licenses, cables, and documentation, along with comprehensive installation, Installation Qualification, Operational Qualification, and on-site training for FDA personnel. A minimum one-year original equipment manufacturer warranty covering parts and labor is required. The award will be made using the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable methodology to the responsible offeror whose quotation is technically acceptable and whose price is determined fair and reasonable. The solicitation, numbered 75F40126Q00095, was posted on July 14, 2026, and responses are due by July 21, 2026, with primary point of contact Reagan Davis at the FDA Office of Acquisition and Grant Services in Rockville, Maryland.
