Single-Axis Linear Motion Calibration System (Shake Table) with Control SoftwareThe U.S. Food and Drug Administration is seeking market information for a single-axis linear motion calibration system, commonly known as a shake table, with integrated control software, to be used for laboratory calibration and testing of inertial measurement devices. The system must deliver programmable, closed-loop linear motion with real-time feedback, supporting arbitrary user-defined waveforms including at least three simultaneous frequency components, operating within a frequency range of 0.1 to 10 Hz, displacement of sub-millimeter to twenty millimeters, and acceleration up to approximately one g, with sub-millimeter positioning accuracy. It must include factory-calibrated NIST-traceable position and reference accelerometer sensors, safety mechanisms such as hard-wired emergency stop and automatic shutdown, and a benchtop design compatible with standard 110–120V power. The accompanying control software must operate offline without cloud dependencies, support programming interfaces like MATLAB or Python, allow non-proprietary data exchange, and comply with Section 508 accessibility standards. The system must be delivered fully assembled, factory-tested, and calibrated, with installation, user training, technical documentation, and a commercial warranty included, and must be delivered to the FDA White Oak campus in Silver Spring, Maryland, within 90 days of award. This is a sources sought notice for market research only and does not constitute a binding solicitation or obligation to procure. Responses must include a completed Vendor Response Form in native Microsoft Excel format and a five-page capability statement in PDF, both submitted via email to Reagan Davis by August 3, 2026. Respondents are required to declare their business size under NAICS 334519, identify socioeconomic classifications, indicate whether they are manufacturer, distributor, or reseller, and specify if supplying U.S.-made end products consistent with the Buy American Act and nonmanufacturer rule. All respondents must disclose the country of manufacture, domestic content percentage, origin of critical components, production capacity, and whether alternatives or substitutes exist domestically. The Government will use this information to determine market availability, assess potential for small business set-asides, and evaluate domestic production feasibility, and responses must not include proprietary pricing. No payment will be made for response costs, and failure to respond does not preclude future participation if a solicitation is issued.

Proficiency Testing ContractThe U.S. Food and Drug Administration intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price order to QuoData GmbH of Dresden, Germany, for the continued support and specialized enhancements of the ProLab Plus software platform, which is exclusively used to analyze proficiency testing and inter-laboratory study data. The contract, issued under FAR 6.103-1, justifies noncompetitive procurement because QuoData is the sole provider of this proprietary software, which is essential to the FDA’s Human Foods Program for evaluating laboratory performance and supporting accreditation. Market research confirms no alternative solutions exist that can meet the technical requirements, particularly the need for advanced statistical methodologies aligned with ISO standards, which require direct expertise from the original developer beyond standard technical support. The contract structure includes a one-year base period followed by four optional one-year extensions, with a total potential duration of five years. The North American Industry Classification System code is 541611 for Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services. The order will be performed from Silver Spring, Maryland, with procurement managed by the FDA Office of Acquisition and Grant Services based in Rockville, Maryland. Interested parties may submit inquiries by the response deadline of August 4, 2026, but this presolicitation notice does not constitute a request for competitive proposals. Primary and secondary points of contact have been designated for further information regarding the procurement.
