Low‑Temperature Circulating Chiller

Oregon State University is seeking to acquire a single, specialized low‑temperature circulating chiller (LAUDA RP 290 EC) to support a laboratory laser system. The chiller must cool from near ambient to below –70 °C with ±0.05 °C stability, and fit within a constrained space under an existing laser table. This is a sole‑source acquisition because LAUDA‑Brinkmann is the only manufacturer of this exact model. The university will evaluate any appeals by the close date and expects delivery/installation after award. • Required performance: cooling to < –70 °C, temperature stability ±0.05 °C. • Physical constraints: small footprint for placement under a laser table in a laboratory. • Procurement method: sole‑source award to LAUDA‑Brinkmann, LP; no competitive bidding. • Deadline for submission: 04/29/2026 3:30 PM PST; appeals must be filed by the same date.
