Laboratory Plate Stacker Tower Supply

The contract seeks the supply of plate stacker towers capable of holding up to 25 plates, intended for integration into existing laboratory automation systems to enhance efficiency and throughput in high-volume research environments. These towers must be compatible with standard laboratory formats and meet rigorous performance and reliability standards to ensure seamless operation within automated workflows, including precise handling, stacking, and retrieval of microplates without risk of contamination or misalignment. The equipment must be designed for durability in continuous use and able to interface with third-party automation platforms commonly deployed in biomedical research settings. Issued as a subcontract under the National Institutes of Health Office of Laboratory Animal Welfare, part of the Department of Health and Human Services, the opportunity is open for proposals with a response deadline of July 7, 2026, at 6:00 PM. The North American Industry Classification System code 333318 indicates the focus is on other commercial and service machinery manufacturing, specifically highlighting the need for specialized instrumentation rather than general lab equipment. There is no designated set-aside classification, and performance is expected to align with the operational needs of federal research laboratories, though specific geographic location details for delivery or installation are not provided in the posting.
