44--Laboratory 1800C Tubular Furnaces (4 Qty.)

This opportunity was originally a solicitation for the procurement of four high‑temperature laboratory tubular furnaces (up to 1800 °C) from a brand‑name or equivalent to Carbolite‑Gero. The solicitation was issued as a 100 % total small‑business set‑aside (NAICS 333994). After evaluating the quotations received, the agency determined that no technically acceptable offers were submitted by eligible small businesses, resulting in a full cancellation of the solicitation and the withdrawal of the small‑business set‑aside. The Department of Energy/NETL plans to issue a new, unrestricted solicitation in the near future. Vendors with interest should monitor upcoming announcements. • Original requirement: 4 horizontal high‑temperature tube furnaces (up to 1800 °C). • NAICS code: 333994 – Other Commercial and Service Industry Machinery Manufacturing. • Initially a total small‑business set‑aside; cancelled due to lack of acceptable bids. • All quotations received are rejected; the requirement will be re‑solicited on an open basis. • Point of contact for questions about the cancellation: Contract Specialist Arturo B. Manantan Jr. (email above).
