The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health is seeking commercially available portable hyperspectral imaging systems to support scientific research and laboratory testing aimed at evaluating the safety and effectiveness of digital pathology devices. The requirement is for a single portable unit capable of capturing high-resolution spectral data across a wavelength range of 400 nm to 800 nm with at least 200 evenly distributed spectral bands and a spectral bandwidth of 7 nm or less. The system must produce images of at least 512 by 512 pixels with a minimum spectral resolution of 12 bits per pixel, focus from 15 centimeters to infinity, and operate as a standalone device with an integrated display and user interface, eliminating the need for an external computer. It must be powered by an internal rechargeable battery, charge via standard 120V U.S. power, and weigh no more than 2 kilograms, with data stored on portable media for transfer to external systems. The system must be delivered within six weeks of award and include a minimum one-year manufacturer’s warranty and technical support. On-site installation is not required, and training is optional, though electronic or hard-copy user documentation must be provided. This sources sought notice, issued under solicitation number SSN-CDRH-2026-134060, is strictly for market research to determine vendor availability and industry capability, including small business participation, and does not represent a commitment to proceed with procurement. Responses are due by August 7, 2026, and the requirement is categorized under NAICS code 333310. The point of contact for inquiries is Reagan Davis at the FDA’s office in Rockville, Maryland, with performance expected in Silver Spring, Maryland.
