Laboratory equipment bids, matched to what you sell

Public buyers post bids for balances, analyzers, microscopes, centrifuges, and other lab equipment every week. The hard part isn't finding notices — it's knowing which ones your products can actually meet.

Where laboratory equipment bids are published

• U.S. federal agencies post solicitations, requests for quotes, and sources-sought notices on SAM.gov.
• State and local governments use their own procurement portals.
• Universities and hospitals often run separate purchasing sites.

BranchBids currently checks SAM.gov. It doesn't claim to cover every buyer.

Why qualifying a bid takes so long

• Specifications are spread across the description and attached PDFs, spreadsheets, and Word files.
• Numeric limits come in different units — grams and milligrams, days and weeks.
• Some requirements rule you out entirely: a named manufacturer, OEM-only sourcing, or a set-aside you don't qualify for.
• Response windows are short, and notices change after they're posted.

What you see for each bid

• The buyer, the requested equipment, and the exact closing date
• The product in your catalogue that may fit
• Each required condition: meets, does not meet, or couldn't confirm
• The quote from the notice and the value from your catalogue behind every result
• A link to the original public notice

When a requirement can't be read or compared, it's marked Couldn't confirm — never quietly treated as met. A match is a reason to review a bid, not a guarantee of eligibility.
