Summary
The Environmental Protection Agency's active Request for Information seeks vendor information for a benchtop nuclear magnetic resonance instrument capable of measuring the hydrogen content of petroleum products in accordance with ASTM D7171. The requested instrument must support optional probes for phosphorus, carbon, hydrogen, fluorine, lithium, tin, boron, xenon, sodium, vanadium, aluminum, bromine, silicon, selenium, and nitrogen, operate from 25–60 degrees Celsius, and not require a cryogen. The SAM.gov notice displays a posting time of Jul 21, 2026 10:20 am EDT and a response deadline of Aug 14, 2026 11:00 am EDT, and identifies the notice as an RFI and sources-sought announcement rather than a grant program.
