Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail) The prior award 1305M323PNRMA0750 was awarded to Integra Biosciences for $37,011 (09/15/23–10/15/23) for “components for an Integra high functioning plate pipette system.” This appears to be closely related to the current requirement for a 96-well pipettor system, as both involve Integra plate pipetting equipment/components used in similar laboratory workflows, suggesting the new purchase may be a continuation or expansion of the same type of pipetting capability.
