The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation is conducting market research to identify qualified vendors capable of supplying modular eDNA auto‑sampler systems for freshwater environmental sampling. Each system must autonomously or tetheredly collect up to eight independent 1,000‑liter water samples (5 µm filter recommended) with flow rates of 0.1–1.4 L/min, operate between 0 °C and 40 °C, and be water‑resistant (IP 4‑3) with a lift capability of 0–2 m. Required features include integrated RFID or equivalent traceability, Bluetooth and/or satellite communications, GPS (≤2.5 m accuracy) compatibility, and compatibility with autoclave or bleach sterilization. Power must be provided by swappable 12.8 V Li‑FePO₄ batteries (minimum 3 h pumping, up to 30 days in sensing mode) with optional solar recharging; each unit must include two rechargeable batteries, chargers, intake hoses, filters, custom carrying cases, and shipping straps. The system should be rugged, corrosion‑resistant, and covered by a minimum one‑year parts‑and‑labor warranty.
