Microbiology Consumables – Streaking Sticks

The contract is for the supply of sterile streaking sticks used in manual inoculation procedures within microbiology laboratories, specifically to support laboratory operations at the U.S. Embassy in Tbilisi. These consumables are essential for routine microbial culturing and diagnostic testing, ensuring accurate and contamination-free sample processing in high-standard biosafety environments. The contract is classified under NAICS code 339113, indicating it involves the manufacturing of medical and surgical instruments and supplies, and is structured as a subcontract, meaning it is likely part of a broader procurement arrangement managed by the Department of State. Performance of the contract is required in Tbilisi, Georgia, with the delivery of sterile streaking sticks intended to meet the operational demands of the embassy’s microbiology laboratory. The solicitation was posted on July 10, 2026, and while no set-aside provisions or specific point of contact are listed, the requirement is clearly targeted to ensure continuous availability of high-quality, non-contaminated inoculation tools. The absence of a solicitation number suggests this may be a direct award or internal procurement under a larger framework, emphasizing the critical nature of supply reliability for public health and diplomatic mission support.
