Particle Velocimetry and Flow Field Measurement

The contract requires the performance of high-resolution 2D and 3D particle velocimetry to accurately measure and analyze fluid flow characteristics including velocity fields, shear stress, recirculation zones, and turbulence levels within fabricated flow models under both steady and transient conditions. The results must meet the rigorous standards for peer-reviewed scientific publication, ensuring high technical quality and reproducibility. This work is critical for advancing understanding of complex flow dynamics in biomedical or environmental applications, with deliverables expected to support scientific validation and regulatory insight. Awarded as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 541380, this subcontract is managed by the FDA Negotiated Contracts Branch under the Department of Health and Human Services. The place of performance is designated as Silver Spring, Maryland, with a response deadline of July 31, 2026, at 6:30 PM Eastern Time, and the solicitation was posted on July 22, 2026. The requirement is open exclusively to small businesses, and the scope implies a strong emphasis on advanced experimental fluid dynamics and data analysis capabilities aligned with federal research and development objectives.
