R7 Lab: Purchase of Laboratory Temperature Monitor

The Environmental Protection Agency, Region 7, is seeking market information for a Laboratory Temperature Monitoring System through a sources-sought solicitation numbered 68HE0726Q0024, posted on July 2, 2026, with a response deadline of July 8, 2026. The system must be a Name Brand or Equal Dickson solution capable of monitoring temperature conditions across all EPA R7 laboratory storage units ranging from -80°C to 180°C with a precision error margin of no more than 0.2°C. The hardware must consist of self-installed, battery-operated data loggers equipped with ISO 17025 calibrated sensors and certified documentation, compatible with fridges, freezers, ultralow freezers, ovens, and furnaces. Connectivity must be enabled via radio frequency technology and supported by wireless or ethernet-ready gateways to allow flexible deployment within the facility. The accompanying software must feature customizable dashboards, automated alert notifications via email, phone, or text for temperature excursions, and a comprehensive audit trail that logs all electronic record changes. Software must comply with federal cybersecurity mandates by either holding FedRAMP approval or having submitted a Software Attestation to CISA per OMB memoranda M-22-18 and M-23-16. Additionally, the solution must demonstrate proven functionality within the EPA’s existing network—either through current use by other EPA regions or by providing no-cost demo access to R7IT for security validation—and must be capable of integrating with systems across the agency to support future agency-wide monitoring.
