AI Contract Overview
The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Northwest Fisheries Science Center is soliciting quotes for two specialized laboratory instruments: the Mettler Toledo XPR3 Ultramicro Balance and the Mettler Toledo Titrator Compact G20S Rondolino with accessories, to support scientific research on salmon, sablefish, and shellfish related to ocean acidification and hatchery science. This is a full small business set-aside under NAICS code 334516 with a size standard of 1,000 employees, and the contract will be awarded as a single firm-fixed-price purchase order on an all-or-none basis with Net 30 payment terms. The request includes five distinct line items: the titrator and its associated reagent pump, rinse unit, and rinse tube; the ultramicro balance with a one-year warranty; delivery and installation services including white glove handling, uncrating, calibration, and technician training; an extended one-year warranty for the balance; and shipping and handling with reimbursement limited to documented freight costs exceeding $100. All items must be delivered within 90 days of award to the Seattle, WA facility, with warranty periods beginning on the date of award regardless of actual delivery timing. The solicitation explicitly excludes Buy American requirements due to a determination that these Mettler Toledo products are not available in sufficient quality or quantity domestically. Vendors must submit quotes electronically by 5:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time on August 11, 2026, using either the SF18 form or company letterhead, including unit prices, warranty costs, and shipping fees. A site visit to the Seattle facility is strongly recommended but not mandatory, and failure to visit will not support post-award claims. Quotes must be sent to the designated email, and vendors are solely responsible for confirming receipt. The contracting office advises that certain SAM representations are not applicable to this procurement and will not influence award decisions, per NOAA deviation guidelines.
