The Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is procuring a one-year supply of Metrohm combustion ion chromatography (CIC) consumables under a firm-fixed-price contract, issued as a total small business set-aside with NAICS code 334516 and a size standard of 1,000 employees. The requirement is for a comprehensive list of 21 specific consumable items—including CO2 absorption cartridges, eluent concentrates, quartz boats, combustion tubes, PTFE caps, and chromatography traps—used exclusively in NIST’s Fire Research Division for PFAS analysis. Deliveries must be completed by July 31, 2026, or within 30 days of contract award, with all items to be delivered to and accepted at NIST’s facility in Gaithersburg, Maryland. The contract is evaluated using the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) method, where offerors must first demonstrate technical compliance with Metrohm specifications and instrument compatibility (920 absorber, 930 IC Flex oven, M7-474/X module) through submitted product literature and clear alignment with the detailed specifications in Attachment 1; only technically acceptable quotes are considered for price evaluation, with award going strictly to the lowest-priced compliant offeror. All proposals must be submitted electronically via email to robert.cowins@nist.gov no later than 12:00 PM Eastern Time on May 22, 2026, using the solicitation number 1333ND26QNB730215. Offerors must maintain an active registration in SAM.gov, including a valid Unique Entity Identifier and CAGE code, and comply with all required representations and certifications such as those concerning responsibility, delinquent taxes, felony convictions, child labor, trafficking in persons, Buy American provisions, and prohibitions against paying to influence federal transactions. Invoicing is mandatory through the Treasury’s Invoice Processing Platform (IPP), with no paper submissions or WAWF use permitted; contractors must register with IPP and submit invoices directly to INVOICE@NIST.GOV with required contract and CLIN details. Contractors must adhere to NIST campus access protocols, including daily verification of operational status and compliance with security identification procedures, and are subject to FAR clauses regarding whistleblower rights, ethical conduct, subcontractor reporting, and anti-inversion policies. Packaging and labeling are not prescriptively detailed but require traceability
