The contract seeks the installation of a second P-Line HMI touch screen controller on the clean side of the cagewash area in Building 35/35A at the National Institutes of Health vivarium in Bethesda, Maryland, to support the existing Tecniplast P-Line water bottle automation machine. This machine is critical for producing bacteria-free, filled water bottles for rodents, and the current setup—where the primary controller is located on the dirty side—creates inefficiencies in daily operations, increases PPE usage, extends staff travel time, and contributes to unnecessary downtime. The clean-side controller will enable cagewash personnel to directly monitor, control, manage, and troubleshoot the automation system without crossing contamination boundaries, thereby improving operational efficiency, reducing waste, and maximizing the return on investment of the machine. The project is being procured under solicitation number 75N98026Q00483 as a presolicitation with a total small business set-aside under FAR 19.5, restricted to small businesses classified under NAICS code 326199. The posting date was May 29, 2026, with proposals due by June 9, 2026, and performance will occur entirely at the specified Bethesda location. No pricing details, delivery schedule, evaluation factors, inspection criteria, packaging specifications, or administrative instructions are included in the available documentation, though the technical requirement is clearly defined around the installation and integration of the controller with the existing automation system.

                                                                    Requirements



Requires the installation of a second P-Line HMI controller on clean side cagewash in order to effectively and efficiently operate the P-Line water bottle automation machine for producing clean bacteria-free filled water bottles for animals in he Building 35/35A vivarium.


AHCS uses a Tecniplast P-Line water bottle automation machine to process the bulk water bottles required to provide the rodents with clean and bacteria-free water. Installed in 2024, AHCS has recognized some difficulties manipulating the water bottle recapper and refiller from the clean side of cagewash, since the main controller is located on the dirty side. Installing this second controller on the clean side of cagewash will allow for efficient management and troubleshooting of the device, minimizing downtime, wasted staff time and PPE, and maximizing return on investment of the machine.


The requested clean-side HMI controller is directly tied to this animal-care function because it will allow cagewash staff to efficiently “monitor, control, manage, and troubleshoot the P-Line bottle automation machine from the clean side.” This will reduce PPE use, equipment downtime, and time spent traveling to the dirty-side controller. Effective operation of this machine is necessary to maintain efficient cagewash operations that support animal healthcare in the vivarium
