About This Opportunity

Translated

This tender, identified as 23N05746, concerns the procurement of essential equipment for the storage of biological samples. Specifically, the project requires the acquisition of ultra-low temperature freezers, designated as '-80 freezers', capable of maintaining temperatures of -80 degrees Celsius. In addition to the freezers, the tender also includes the purchase of 40 racks designed for the organized storage of these biological samples. These acquisitions are being made within the framework of the PAS GRAS project. The PAS GRAS project, presumably focused on research, development, or conservation related to biological resources, necessitates reliable and specialized storage solutions to ensure the integrity and longevity of the collected samples. The freezers will provide the critical low-temperature environment required for preserving sensitive biological materials, while the racks will facilitate efficient organization and accessibility within the storage units. This procurement is crucial for the successful continuation and outcomes of the PAS GRAS project, ensuring that valuable biological samples are maintained under optimal conditions for future analysis, research, or other designated purposes. Further details regarding technical specifications, delivery timelines, and evaluation criteria are expected to be outlined in the full tender documentation.
