The National Institutes of Health (NIH) intends to award a Firm-Fixed-Price Purchase Order to Sartorius for an Octet® R4 to Octet® R8 Upgrade.
\n\nThe Government intends to solicit from a single source in accordance with FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements.
\n\nThe Government requires an upgrade of its existing Octet R4 Bio-Layer Interferometry (BLI) instrument to an Octet R8 configuration to increase sample capacity, efficiency, and throughput. The upgrade will double the instrument's sample capacity per run, allowing more comprehensive data collection in a single analysis session and reducing the need for multiple runs. The upgrade will also include an evaporation cover to minimize sample evaporation and preserve samples following analysis.
\n\nThe required upgrade must be compatible with and installed on the Government's existing Octet R4 instrument. Based on the proprietary nature of the existing system and the unique configuration and compatibility requirements of the upgrade, Sartorius is the only known responsible source capable of providing the required Octet R4-to-R8 upgrade without substantial duplication of cost or unacceptable delay.
\n\nThis notice is not a request for competitive quotations. However, interested parties that believe they are capable of meeting the Government's requirements may submit a capability statement demonstrating their ability to provide the required upgrade and meet all technical, compatibility, and installation requirements.
\n\nThe Government will consider all timely responses received and determine whether the acquisition should proceed as a sole-source procurement or be competed.
\n\nThe Government anticipates making an award approximately five (5) calendar days after the closing date of this notice, unless the Government determines that another responsible source is capable of meeting the requirement.
\n\nCapability statements shall be submitted electronically to haunp@mail.nih.gov no later than 9:00 a.m. EDT on September 18, 2026.
\n\nPlease reference Notice No. 75N98026Q01175 in the subject line of the response.
