Specialized Field Equipment and Sample Transport Supply

The contract entails the supply and ongoing management of specialized field equipment critical for environmental data collection and personnel safety, including insulated sample containers and cooling media to preserve sample integrity during transport, NIST-traceable field instruments for measuring pH, dissolved oxygen, and conductivity to ensure regulatory-compliant data accuracy, and bear spray for the safety of field personnel working in remote areas. All equipment must meet stringent quality and calibration standards to support reliable, defensible environmental monitoring across diverse and challenging field conditions. This subcontract, issued under NAICS code 423490 by the Department of the Interior’s Imr Northern ROCKIES office, requires vendors to deliver and maintain these items over the life of the agreement, with all instruments verified to NIST traceability and containers designed to withstand transit extremes without compromising sample quality. Responses are due by July 9, 2026, and performance is expected to support field operations throughout the agency’s operational region, though specific locations are not detailed in the posting. Vendors must demonstrate capacity for reliable logistics, calibration servicing, and on-demand replacement to ensure continuous operational readiness without disruption.
