Purchase of a DMA 5002 density meter

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is seeking to purchase a DMA 5002 density meter. This instrument will be used to measure the density of aqueous solutions with five-digit accuracy and will replace the current density meter, which is no longer operational. The NIH intends to negotiate and award a contract without providing for full and open competition to Anton Paar USA, Inc. Interested parties may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which will be considered by the agency. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 334516, and the contract will include all applicable provisions and clauses in effect through the Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2026-01. Some key points to consider: • The NIH requires an instrument capable of measuring the density of aqueous solutions with five-digit accuracy. • The new device will complement the recently purchased Optima AUC analytical ultracentrifuge. • The existing density meter is no longer operational and cannot be repaired. • Interested parties must have an active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) and must submit their responses electronically to Mr. James Law, Contracting Officer.
