The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Engineer Research and Development Center - Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (ERDC-CERL) seeks to acquire eDNA Autosampler Equipment to support Resource Management and Sustainment research needs and to enable more effective environmental monitoring of wildlife, biological threats, and hazards at US military installations.
The ERDC-CERL lab already owns Smith-Root brand eDNA Autosampler Equipment and is specifically seeking to acquire other/alternate brands in this procurement to increase their laboratory capabilities to cover a variety of commercially available brands.

They should be fully automated with ability to schedule the machine in advance to run at specified times and should be capable of collecting and preserving 8 or more samples for a minimum of 30 days after processing.
In their market research to date, ERDC-CERL researchers have specifically identified the following brands as potentially fulfilling their requirements, and is seeking industry feedback on potential distributor vendors for those brands (including but not limited to small business distributors), as well as feedback on alternative, commercially available brands to those identified that fulfill the minimum requirements above as well as those below.

2) MTE Instruments shore-based eDNA Autosampler: the ERDC-CERL team requires one platform for shore-based (out of water) use.
