Under the authority of FAR 13.5, the U.S. Army RDECOM Contracting Center, Natick Contracting Division, Natick, MA intends to award a Firm Fixed Price Purchase Order to VWR International, Inc. of Suwanee, GA, for the Caron Environmental Test Chamber with temperature and humidity control ranging from 5 to 70C and 20 to 98% RH at reasonable cost. CARONs key features of the units performance for temperature control and humidity control combined with the lower height and its ability to be a self contained unit will allow us to meet strict regulations involving working with BSL level II pathogens and perform high quality work.

Interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to this requirement to the U.S. Army RDECOM Contracting Center, Natick Contracting Division, via e-mail at [email protected]. no later than 20 April 2009, 12:00 pm EST.
