Abeyance Cryogenic LN2 Vapor Cryo Freezer and Racks
Solicitation # 75N98026Q00659NCI
The National Cancer Institute at the National Institutes of Health intends to award a sole-source firm-fixed-price purchase order to Lab Rep Co. for Abeyance Cryogenic LN2 Vapor Cryo Freezers and associated racks to replace aging equipment in the Pediatric Oncology Branch. The requirement demands units that match the exact footprint of existing freezers due to limited floor space, while offering increased storage capacity, advanced touchscreen controls, remote data monitoring via cloud or USB, and enhanced safety features such as cryogenic LED lighting, automatic fog-clear, low-profile access, and hinged lids. The system must provide reliable -190°C vapor-phase storage with extended hold times, dual monitoring of temperature and liquid nitrogen levels, battery backup, gas bypass, and integrated ducting to minimize vapor exposure and condensation. These freezers are specifically chosen because the prior model, the Azenta A440, has proven exceptional reliability, performance, and compatibility with current workflows and infrastructure, making it the only suitable replacement to ensure uninterrupted preservation of critical clinical and research samples. The sole-source justification is grounded in the proven track record of the Abeyance A440 freezer and the necessity to maintain consistency across the inventory to avoid operational disruption or sample loss. The acquisition is authorized under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), which permits single-source procurement when only one vendor can meet the government’s specific needs. While this notice is not a request for proposals, interested parties may submit capability statements by August 12, 2026, at 3:00 PM Eastern Time to the designated point of contact, Claudia Ventola, for consideration, though the government retains full discretion to proceed without competition. All submissions must reference the notice ID number 75N98026Q00659 NCI and be emailed to Claudia.Ventola@hhs.gov. The equipment will be delivered to and installed at the NIH campus in Bethesda, Maryland, under the oversight of the Office of Acquisition Management Services within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
