3 Solaris 6000 Incubated and Refrigerated Stackable Shakers with clamp starter kits (Part No. SK6002PKG)

The USDA Agricultural Research Service needs to purchase three Thermo Scientific Solaris 6000 incubated and refrigerated stackable shakers with clamp starter kits (Part No. SK6002PKG) for high‑consequence plant pathogen research. The award will go to the lowest‑priced technically acceptable vendor. The shakers must provide precise temperature control, a shaking range up to 525 rpm, a 70‑lb load capacity, and stackable design to maximize lab space. Fisher Scientific is the suggested source, but competition is restricted due to unique technical requirements. • Quantity: 3 units • Product: Solaris 6000 incubated/refrigerated orbital shaker with clamp kit • Required features: temperature PID control, 15‑525 rpm, 70 lb load, stackable, data export, 10‑year drive warranty • Procurement type: RFQ (lowest‑price technically acceptable) • Funding: FY26 base period (estimated value not disclosed) • Agency: USDA‑ARS, Foreign Disease‑Weed Science Research Unit, MD
