View moreThe U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), is conducting market research to identify potential sources capable of providing industrial gases, supplies, and services to support laboratory analyses. This requirement serves three primary FSIS locations: the Eastern Laboratory in Athens, Georgia; the Midwestern Laboratory in St. Louis, Missouri; and the Western Laboratory in Albany, California. Classified under NAICS code 325120, Industrial Gas Manufacturing, and PSC 6830, Gases: Compressed and Liquefied, the acquisition is intended to ensure the safety and accurate labeling of meat, poultry, and egg products through consistent laboratory operations.
The scope of work involves the delivery of various gases and supplies, including dry ice, liquid nitrogen with telemetry monitoring, ultra-high purity argon and helium, and propane for forklift use. While specific quantity estimates are based on historical usage at the Western Laboratory, all three facilities may require these materials, including potential emergency orders based on sample volume. The anticipated period of performance consists of a one-year base period followed by four one-year options.
This sources sought notice, identified by solicitation number 123A9420R0002, requires interested firms to submit a detailed capability statement and a letter of interest by December 13, 2019. Submissions must demonstrate the technical skills necessary to meet the requirements and include relevant past performance information such as project titles, dollar values, and periods of performance. Barbara Nelson is the designated point of contact for this market research effort.
