Controllable Vacuum Pump for a Microfluidic Device (CoVPM)

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Engineering Research and Development Center (ERDC) Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (CERL) seeks a Controllable Vacuum Pump for a Microfluidic Device (CoVPM) for its permafrost thaw research project. The CoVPM must be compatible with a Nikon IX-81 Fluorescent Microscope and include a vacuum pump, microfluidic flow controller (supporting at least 3 channels and reservoir sizes from 2mL to 15mL), metal tube cap reservoirs, a low-pressure generator, and a push-pull module. The system must be compatible with biological samples, aqueous solutions, and organic solvents. Award will be made to the lowest priced technically acceptable offer, with delivery required within 21 days of contract award to Champaign, IL. This is a 100% small business set-aside, with a total estimated value of $22,147.50 funded by 021*2040 RDT&E funds. The justification for sole-source acquisition is based on the limited compatibility of available pumps with the existing microscope.
