Lab Glassware Washer System

The U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), is seeking market information through a Request for Information (RFI) titled Lab Glassware Washer System, identified by solicitation number ACQ-26-0637, posted on July 22, 2026, with responses due by July 29, 2026, at 2:00 PM EST. This is a sources-sought notice under NAICS code 334516, designed solely to gather industry input on the feasibility, availability, and capabilities of lab glassware washer systems that meet OSHA's operational needs—not to initiate a solicitation or award a contract. The required system must be equivalent to the Miele PLW 7111 model, capable of handling 192 narrow-neck items, 108 flasks, or 98 pipettes per cycle, and operate on a 3 AC 208V 60 HZ electrical system. It must comply with the Buy American Act and be deliverable, installed, and fully operational at OSHA’s Technical Center in Washington, DC, within 60 days of any eventual award, with installation and training completed within an additional 30 days. The contractor must provide comprehensive documentation including operator manuals, maintenance guides, service procedures, spare parts lists, and acceptance test records, as well as conduct on-site training for OSHA personnel on operation, calibration, troubleshooting, and data management. The system will be accepted upon successful demonstration of performance specifications at the government facility, with a 12-month warranty commencing upon acceptance. Respondents must submit a cover letter containing their UEI number, business size classification, and point of contact details, along with responses to the attached Market Research Questionnaire, estimated pricing as a Rough Order of Magnitude, and supplemental marketing materials in either Microsoft Word or PDF format, not exceeding ten pages excluding the cover letter and questionnaire. All submissions must be sent via email to the designated points of contact, Deborah Worrells and Maria Britton, and respondents are encouraged to include their SAM.gov registration information. No contract clauses, evaluation factors, payment details, packaging specifications, or special requirements such as security clearances or options have been included at this stage, as this RFI is strictly for market research purposes; any future solicitation will contain formal terms and conditions.
