Pyrolysis GC-MS module (Microplastics, Phthalates and Other Packaging)

The Food and Drug Administration is forecasting the acquisition of a pyrolysis gas chromatography-mass spectrometry module to support the OCT microplastics research program, filling a critical technology gap within the HFP laboratories. This specialized instrument will enable advanced characterization of microplastics, phthalates, and other compounds found in packaging materials, providing essential analytical capabilities not currently available within the agency’s existing facilities. The project is classified under NAICS code 541990 and is intended to enhance the FDA’s capacity for comprehensive environmental and chemical analysis in support of public health research. The procurement opportunity is posted with no established solicitation number or set-aside designation, and the point of contact for program inquiries is the Hfp Acquisition Liaison at hfpacquisitions@fda.hhs.gov. The contracting officer position remains undetermined, and no specific place of performance or office address is provided in the forecast. The forecast was published on May 25, 2026, and interested parties can access additional details through the HHS OSDBU procurement portal.
