Microscope Micro-sampling and Chemical Imagin Services

The Mississippi-based government authority is seeking a vendor to provide a microscope micro-sampling and chemical imaging system. This system must support advanced pharmaceutical characterization, material analysis, microscale compositional assessment, and chemical imaging applications. The agency requires this technology to solve complex analytical challenges related to material heterogeneity and advanced compositional mapping. The scope of work covers a system equipped with infrared chemical imaging or hyperspectral imaging capability. The requested system must deliver microscale spatial resolution suitable for pharmaceutical particles and formulations, alongside automated mapping over extended sample areas of approximately 10 mm by 10 mm. Additionally, the agency requires fully integrated software that handles instrument control, acquisition, spectral processing, chemical imaging analysis, and region-of-interest analysis. Eligible bidders must be onshore United States organizations. The agency requires the performance of all work to take place offsite. Bidders must submit any questions regarding this opportunity no later than June 10, 2026, and the agency is currently seeking proposals to establish the budget for this procurement.
