Cage and Rack Washers

Washington State University is seeking two life‑science cage and rack washing systems for its Pullman vivarium, including full delivery, installation, utility hookups, start‑up, user training, and site cleanup. The equipment must fit the existing pit, meet detailed technical specifications (stainless‑steel construction, dual‑door pass‑through, multiple programmable cycles, final‑rinse temperature 160‑185 °F, safety interlocks, digital controls, optional network link, and a 1‑year warranty), and be ready for substantial completion by 15 May 2027. Vendors must attend a mandatory on‑site walkthrough (April 21‑May 6 2026) to verify pit dimensions and must submit a complete electronic proposal by 4 June 2026. The solicitation also requires an estimate for any pit modifications that WSU/JOC would perform. • Supply two cage‑and‑rack washers meeting the detailed chamber size, power, and safety requirements. • Provide all associated services: delivery, uncrating, assembly, leveling, utility connections, start‑up, training, and cleanup. • Include a cost estimate for any needed pit modifications and state whether modifications are required. • Comply with WSU’s contract terms, insurance limits, prevailing‑wage certification, and warranty expectations.
