AI Contract Overview

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, through the Northwest Fisheries Science Center, intends to negotiate a single-source contract with SPT Labtech Inc. for the procurement of the BioMicroLab VC100 instrument. This requirement includes all necessary labor, equipment, and materials to provide the device, along with on-site remote installation, training, and a twelve-month extended service contract. The sole-source determination is based on SPT Labtech being the only manufacturer and supplier capable of providing the specific ultrasonic sensor technology required for robust molecular genetic data generation and the only vendor able to service the instrument using original equipment manufacturer parts. The BioMicroLab VC100 is a non-contact ultrasonic liquid level sensor designed to automate sample volume verification and quality control for various laboratory consumables, such as 96, 48, and 24-format well plates. The system is capable of detecting volume changes down to the sub-10 microliter range and can scan a full 96-well plate in one minute. The contract specifies a delivery deadline of November 1, 2026, with training to be completed by December 1, 2026, and a service contract extending through August 31, 2028. While this is not a request for competitive proposals, other firms that believe they can meet the technical requirements may submit written documentation within 15 days of the notice publication.

This requirement is for: Services, non-personal, to provide all labor, equipment and materials (unless otherwise provided herein) necessary for SptTech BioMicrolab VC100.

The applicable Size Standard is North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code 334516 with a Small business size standard of 1000 employees. This Sole Source Determination is based on NOAAA's requirement for SPT Tech BioMicrolab VC100; SptTech is the sole manufacturer and supplier of the BioMicrolab VC100 and the only vendor capable of servicing and repairing the instrument using required OEM parts. While there are other liquid measuring instruments, none have been found that meet our technical specifications required to support robust, reproducible molecular genetic data generation other than the BioMicroLab VC100.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:

The BioMicrolab VC100/384 instruments feature a proprietary ultrasonic sensor that uses distance measurements and a standard curve to determine sample liquid levels in various laboratory consumables (labware), extrapolating the liquid volume from distance in a calibration table created by the user and outputs the volume for each well position. The VC100 replaces visual or manual inspection of well plates to verify sample volume before and after liquid handling operations, or to provide a QC step for assay plate creation.

1. Functional & Operational Performance

Technology: Patented, non-contact ultrasonic distance-to-meniscus sensor.
Primary Application: Automated sample volume verification and quality control (QC) for microplates and tube racks (replaces manual/visual inspection).
