Purchase of Agilent TapeStation 4150

The Food and Drug Administration is forecasting the purchase of an Agilent TapeStation 4150 to replace an obsolete tape station that is no longer serviceable, ensuring continuity of critical laboratory operations. This procurement is classified under NAICS code 541990 and is being managed by the agency’s procurement team through the Hfp Acquisition Liaison, reachable at hfpacquisitions@fda.hhs.gov, while the contracting officer position is currently unidentified. The purpose of this acquisition is purely to maintain operational integrity by upgrading to a modern, supported instrument, as the existing equipment has reached end-of-life and cannot be repaired or maintained. The purchase is not subject to any specific set-aside and remains open to general commercial vendors capable of supplying the requested equipment. The forecast was posted on May 25, 2026, and the place of performance and exact delivery location remain unspecified at this stage.
