Purchase of Fluorimeter

The Food and Drug Administration is planning to procure a new fluorimeter to replace an outdated model in its packaging lab that is over ten years old and no longer supported by the manufacturer, Perkin Elmer. This acquisition is critical to maintaining the integrity and efficiency of analytical processes within the lab, as the current equipment is unable to meet modern performance standards due to its age and lack of technical support. The solicitation is listed under NAICS code 541990, which corresponds to other scientific and technical consulting services, indicating the equipment may be used for specialized testing or quality assurance functions aligned with FDA regulatory needs. The opportunity was posted on May 25, 2026, and is categorized as a forecast, meaning it represents a future procurement intent and is not yet open for bids. The place of performance and specific location details are not provided, but the equipment will be deployed within the FDA’s packaging laboratory. Point of contact for program inquiries is the Hfp Acquisition Liaison at hfpacquisitions@fda.hhs.gov, while the Contracting Officer role has not yet been assigned. The procurement will likely follow standard federal acquisition procedures, and interested vendors should monitor the official Osdbu HHS portal for future updates and formal solicitation releases.
