Livestock Respiration Chamber
The government seeks a skid-mounted livestock respiration chamber for measuring individual beef cattle eructation and breath gases (CO2, hydrogen, oxygen, and methane), which must be movable between pens yet durable enough for full-size cattle. The device must use RFID to identify individual animals and sync gas data to a cloud-based platform via WiFi or cellular modem. The contract includes site-level installation, continuous training, and customer support for the life of the product, with performance location in Burlington, VT. This acquisition is a total small business set-aside under NAICS 334516, Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing, with a 1,000-employee size standard. Quotations are being requested through a combined synopsis/solicitation, and a separate written solicitation will not be issued.
