Precision Fluidics and Sample Handling Subsystem

The contract seeks a subcontractor to supply or integrate a high-precision microfluidic or pipetting subsystem capable of processing a minimum of eight samples per slide with accuracy in handling volumes as low as 10 microliters and achieving cycle times under sixty seconds. The system must deliver consistent performance under demanding laboratory conditions, supporting high-throughput applications with minimal variability and reliable sample integrity. All deliverables must meet stringent technical specifications for precision, speed, and scalability to ensure compatibility with existing workflows in high-volume diagnostic or research environments. The opportunity is issued by the National Institutes of Health under the Department of Health and Human Services, with performance located in Bethesda, Maryland, and a North American Industry Classification System code of 333318. The solicitation was posted on July 10, 2026, and responses are due by July 21, 2026. While no set-aside designation is specified, interested parties must submit proposals by the deadline to be considered for award. The technical requirements reflect a focus on advanced fluid handling technology critical for next-generation biomedical research and diagnostic platforms.
