- Description
- This notice is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation. This is a Request for QUOTE (RFQ); a written solicitation will not be issued. The Jefferson Laboratories, Arkansas Regional Laboratory (ARL), intends to purchase an Iodine Analysis System. Description of the system: This equipment is needed for the analysis of iodine (as iodide) in food samples that are a part of the Total Diet Analysis Program. The intended use for the equipment is to automate the analytical procedure that involves the iodine catalyzed reaction of arsenic and ceric. The automation of this procedure will provide a more efficient process as well as a more accurate procedure since every sample and standard will be handled exactly the same. The following characteristics are required: 1. Non-segmented low flow rates to minimize the amount of waste arsenic generated and provide high throughput rates and complete washout characteristics. 2. Demonstrated ability of the instrument to measure iodine at ng (nanogram)/ml levels and agreement to refine any existing method to insure that it will work with Total Diet Sample digests. 3. System should provide an autosampler and the software necessary to dilute samples that are initially off scale and rerun the samples without operator intervention and to have the capability to automatically prepare working standard solutions from a stock standard solution 4. The instrument package should include but not be limited to the following: XYZ Autosampler A reagent pump All the required software, data interface and A/D board A computer, monitor and printer An analytical channel designed specifically to assay iodine (as iodide) An accessories kit Operating manuals Installation and training Interested offeror?s shall submit technical capabilities, which may be descriptive literature, along with their cost quotation. APPLICABILITY OF FAR PROVISIONS. The following Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) provisions and clauses apply to this solicitation and are incorporated by reference: FAR 52.212-1 Instruction to Offerors ?

Therefore each initial quotation should contain the offeror?s best terms from both a price and technical standpoint. This is Request for Quote number R-4011-00-2-00. Offers are due in this office no later than September 16, 2002, 2:00p.m., local prevailing time. The point of contact for this requirement is Sharon Norful; telephone (870) 543-7264 and fax number is (870) 543-7990. Submit Offers to the National Center for Toxicological Research, HFT-322, 3900 NCTR Road, Jefferson, AR 72079-9502, Attention Sharon Norful. An official authorized to bind the Offeror must sign the terms and conditions of the offer. Offerors that fail to finish required representation and certifications, or reject the terms and conditions of the solicitation, may be excluded from consideration.*****. The following is provided for all prospective offerors: Q1. My question is whether the technique applied by the system is mandated as non-segmented flow analysis, or would other techniques be considered? A1. In order to determine whether or not other systems would work we would have to have some type of samples and at the levels we are assaying. Please submit descriptive data along with quotation.
