Sciex Triple Quad 5500+ Mass Spectrometer (Toxicology)

The Food and Drug Administration is forecasting the purchase of a SCIEX Triple Quad 5500+ Mass Spectrometer to support critical chemical analyses in toxicology research areas designated as High Priority Focus initiatives. This equipment acquisition is essential for enhancing the agency’s capacity to detect, quantify, and characterize chemical substances with high sensitivity and precision, directly advancing public health and safety objectives. The instrument will be utilized across multiple research programs under the HFP framework, enabling more accurate and timely evaluations of potential toxicological threats. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 541990 for other scientific and technical consulting services, indicating its alignment with specialized analytical research rather than standard manufacturing or supply activities. The point of contact for program inquiries is the Hfp Acquisition Liaison at hfpacquisitions@fda.hhs.gov, while the contracting officer position is still to be determined. The forecast was posted on May 25, 2026, and no specific set-aside or location details have been provided, suggesting this is an early-stage planning notice for a future solicitation.
