Pump and Flow Control System Integration

The contract seeks the supply and integration of programmable peristaltic or precision pumps designed for automated water flow control within respirometry chambers, targeting advanced environmental and marine research applications. The equipment must deliver high accuracy and reproducibility in fluid delivery to support precise metabolic rate measurements, with full integration required to interface seamlessly with existing chamber systems and data acquisition platforms. The pumps will be deployed at a performance location in Highlands, New Jersey, with all components expected to comply with rigorous operational and calibration standards for scientific use in controlled aquatic environments. Issued as a subcontract under NAICS code 333911, the opportunity is managed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration under the U.S. Department of Commerce. Proposals must be submitted by August 6, 2026, with no set-aside designations applied, leaving the contract open to qualified vendors regardless of business size or status. The technical scope demands not only hardware delivery but also comprehensive system integration, documentation, and validation protocols to ensure reliable, long-term performance in sensitive research settings. All submissions must address compatibility, controllability, maintenance requirements, and technical support capabilities under real-world field conditions.
