Supply of Anaerobic Chamber Workstation System

The contract requires the supply of a turn-key anaerobic chamber workstation system engineered to maintain a highly specific gas environment of 10% hydrogen, 10% carbon dioxide, and 80% nitrogen, with precise temperature control between 30 and 37 degrees Celsius to support the growth of anaerobic organisms. The system must enable rapid airlock access with a maximum cycle time of 30 seconds to minimize environmental disruption during sample transfer and must be capable of housing up to 200 petri dishes within defined dimensional constraints to ensure compatibility with standard laboratory practices. All components must be fully integrated, tested, and validated upon delivery to guarantee operational readiness without additional configuration. The solicitation is issued as a subcontract under the FDA Office of Acquisition and Grant Services, part of the Department of Health and Human Services, with the place of performance designated in Silver Spring, Maryland, 20993. The North American Industry Classification System code is 333318, indicating the procurement pertains to laboratory and measuring equipment manufacturing. The proposal submission deadline is August 10, 2026, at 6:00 PM, following the public posting on July 30, 2026. The contract is intended to support critical laboratory infrastructure for biological research and testing under federal regulatory auspices.
