The United States Department Agriculture (USDA), Agricultural Research Service (ARS), in Lubbock, TX currently intends to award a firm-fixed price contract to Neutec Group Inc. for an Eddy Jet Spiral Plater and Counter capable of inoculating agar plates with microbiological samples of various types, and an automatic colony counter to count colonies from spiral plates across multiple bacterial species and media types. This particular equipment uses disposable microsyringes to eliminate sources of sample contamination and additional moving parts. Additionally, Neutec has offered a trade-in value for the discontinued machine we currently possess which is a 2007 model Eddy Jet 1.� The colony counter is specifically designed to be compatible with the spiral plater.� This spiral plater is unique in that it does not need a vacuum source, has a cycle time less than 45 seconds, and does not require a decontamination or washing cycle.�� The colony counter is able to analyze a plate within one second, has a simple draw feature, and has a single bar software feature to optimize detection.� The colony counter also distinguishes different sizes and colors.� The machine also comes with software and protocol for most plates that can export results into a report table. �NAICS Code is 334516.� Award is in accordance with both 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1) and FAR 13.106-1 (b)(1)(i) �
