Modular Multi-Channel Potentiostat/Galvanostat - Procurement Service - SOLE SOURCE | Copy of Sole Sourcing Posting Template
Solicitation # oregon-state-university-1271665
Oregon State University is procuring a modular multi-channel potentiostat/galvanostat from Bio-Logic USA, LLC as a sole source purchase due to the company’s unique ability to meet critical technical requirements essential for advanced electrochemical research. The instrument must feature two independent electrochemical channels with potentiostat/galvanostat functionality, built-in electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, modular architecture for future expansion, and the capability to perform high-precision measurements across both high and low current ranges. It must support long-duration automated experiments and include manufacturer-backed hardware, firmware, and software updates. These specifications are non-negotiable to enable accurate characterization of porous materials and metal-organic frameworks used in carbon capture and energy storage applications, where impedance spectroscopy is vital for analyzing charge transfer, ionic transport, and electrode dynamics. The integration of EC-Lab software is required for validated methods, automation, and publication-ready data analysis, which only Bio-Logic provides as part of its integrated system. No other vendor can fulfill the full scope of needs, as Bio-Logic USA is the sole provider offering authentic hardware, licensing, calibration services, comprehensive technical support, and guaranteed future system scalability for this platform. Substitution through another supplier would compromise experimental integrity, data reproducibility, and long-term operational sustainability. The solicitation is posted under number oregon-state-university-1271665 with a response deadline of August 14, 2026, and any challenges to the sole source determination must be submitted in writing to Cassandra Hurd at cassandra.hurd@oregonstate.edu before that date. The acquisition supports critical research initiatives requiring unmatched performance and reliability, for which Bio-Logic remains the only viable solution.

Abeyance Cryogenic LN2 Vapor Cryo Freezer and Racks
Solicitation # 75N98026Q00659NCI
The National Cancer Institute at the National Institutes of Health intends to award a sole-source firm-fixed-price purchase order to Lab Rep Co. for Abeyance Cryogenic LN2 Vapor Cryo Freezers and associated racks to replace aging equipment in the Pediatric Oncology Branch. The requirement demands units that match the exact footprint of existing freezers due to limited floor space, while offering increased storage capacity, advanced touchscreen controls, remote data monitoring via cloud or USB, and enhanced safety features such as cryogenic LED lighting, automatic fog-clear, low-profile access, and hinged lids. The system must provide reliable -190°C vapor-phase storage with extended hold times, dual monitoring of temperature and liquid nitrogen levels, battery backup, gas bypass, and integrated ducting to minimize vapor exposure and condensation. These freezers are specifically chosen because the prior model, the Azenta A440, has proven exceptional reliability, performance, and compatibility with current workflows and infrastructure, making it the only suitable replacement to ensure uninterrupted preservation of critical clinical and research samples. The sole-source justification is grounded in the proven track record of the Abeyance A440 freezer and the necessity to maintain consistency across the inventory to avoid operational disruption or sample loss. The acquisition is authorized under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), which permits single-source procurement when only one vendor can meet the government’s specific needs. While this notice is not a request for proposals, interested parties may submit capability statements by August 12, 2026, at 3:00 PM Eastern Time to the designated point of contact, Claudia Ventola, for consideration, though the government retains full discretion to proceed without competition. All submissions must reference the notice ID number 75N98026Q00659 NCI and be emailed to Claudia.Ventola@hhs.gov. The equipment will be delivered to and installed at the NIH campus in Bethesda, Maryland, under the oversight of the Office of Acquisition Management Services within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
