Electroantennogram Instrumentation

The USDA Agricultural Research Service is conducting market research (Sources‑Sought) to determine the availability of qualified small businesses capable of supplying an Electroantennogram (EAG) system—including a 4‑channel USB acquisition controller, COMBI‑EAG probe (PRG‑3), electrode gel tubes, and related accessories—to support its Beltsville, MD mission. Responses must include an interest description, a capabilities statement, and identification of the applicable small‑business category (small, small‑disadvantaged, woman‑owned, HUBZone, or service‑disabled veteran‑owned). Submissions are to be sent by email to shane.pope@usda.gov no later than 3:00 p.m. Central Standard Time on Tuesday, May 16, 2026. The government will evaluate interest using a lowest‑price‑technically‑acceptable approach under FAR Part 12, but no contract will be awarded from this notice; the USDA reserves the right to reject any or all responses. Key requirements include a minimum one‑year warranty on the EAG system and an escort for entry into the USDA facility. Delivery is to the USDA address at 10300 Baltimore Avenue, Beltsville, MD (ZIP 20705) with “ASAP” indicated for the primary item. Points of contact for delivery coordination are David Green (443‑910‑8067) and Dr. Mohamed Ahmed (615‑554‑1980). This Sources‑Sought is solely for informational purposes to assess whether a purchase‑order set‑aside can be justified.
