UCAD (Ultra-Cold Freezer/Refrigerator) Calibration

The contract requires the performance verification and calibration of ultra-cold storage units used for the secure storage of forensic evidence, ensuring that samples remain intact and that the chain of custody is rigorously maintained. This work is critical to uphold the reliability and admissibility of forensic materials in legal proceedings, as improper temperature control can compromise evidence integrity. The scope includes precise testing and adjustment of ultra-cold refrigeration systems to meet established thermal standards under real-world operational conditions, with documentation to validate compliance and performance consistency over time. The solicitation is issued as a subcontract under NAICS code 541380, indicating specialized scientific and technical services, and is managed by the Mississippi Department of Public Safety. Responses must be submitted by August 27, 2026, with no set-aside provisions specified. The place of performance and agency office location are not explicitly defined, suggesting the work may be conducted across multiple state-operated facilities where ultra-cold units are deployed. Contractors must possess technical expertise in cryogenic systems, metrology, and forensic storage protocols to successfully execute the verification and calibration tasks.
