The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) intends to award a firm-fixed-price, sole-source purchase order to Metrohm USA, Inc. for the procurement of one Metrohm 888 Titrando System. This requirement includes a flat membrane electrode with an integrated temperature sensor, OMNIS software, and all necessary cables and installation hardware. The selected contractor is responsible for the installation, configuration, and functional verification of the system, as well as providing user familiarization training for staff and a three-year instrument warranty.
The FSIS has identified Metrohm USA, Inc. as the sole source reasonably available to fulfill this requirement under the authority of FAR 12 due to the proprietary nature of the OMNIS software and specialized intelligent electrodes. This equipment is necessary to maintain technical requirements and laboratory continuity. This acquisition is classified under NAICS 334516 Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing and PSC 6630 Chemical Analysis Instruments. There is no set-aside designated for this action.
Performance will take place in the United States under solicitation number FSIS_1165580. Although this notice is not a request for competitive proposals, the agency will consider capability statements from responsible sources that include a technical description of how an alternative meets the specific equipment, software, and warranty requirements. Responses are due by April 8, 2026, and will be directed to the point of contact, Angela Carey, to determine if a competitive procurement is warranted.
