- Description
- The United States Department of Energy (DOE), Radiological and Environmental Sciences Laboratory has a requirement for a closed-system purge and trap sample concentrator and multi-matrix autosampler to facilitate the preparation of aqueous, soil, and waste samples for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) analysis by GC/MS. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for this fixed-price purchase. The sample concentrator is required to meet or exceed the following technical specifications: (1) Capable of interfacing with, and compatible with, the multi-matrix (soil-water) autosampler. (2) Windows based software controlled utilizing a Windows NT environment. (3) Inert sample pathway and a mounted heater to prevent loss of active, polar, or high-boiling compounds. (4) Absorbent-based moisture trap that operates from ambient to 350 °C to remove moisture without affecting polar analytes. (5) A foam sensor to prevent contamination of the internal sample pathway upstream from the sparge vessel. (6) On-trap injection mode capability for easy troubleshooting. The purge and trap soil-water autosampler is required to meet or exceed the following technical specifications: (1) Windows based software controlled utilizing a Windows NT environmental and Windows 2000 environment. (2) Closed-system technique as required in USEPA SW-846 Method 5035. (3) Allow aqueous or solid samples to be run from any position in the sample sequence. (4) Have a minimum of three standard injection systems to allow for separate solution injections of surrogate standard, internal standard and the laboratory control standard. (5) Have an inert sample pathway for corrosion resistance and less chemical reactivity and absorption. (6) Have 1:250 dilution capability using a 250 micro liter dilution syringe and water from an external reservoir. (7) Able to fully rinse the entire sample pathway with up to 90 °C blank water to reduce carryover contamination. (8) Heating solid samples from ambient to 100 °C to be compliant with USEPA SW-846 Method 8260. (9) Allow aqueous sample blanks to be analyzed automatically from an external reservoir after any user specified vial. Delivery of these items shall be FOB Destination within 30 days after receipt of order. Delivery, inspection and acceptance will be at the U.S. DOE Radiological and Environmental Sciences Laboratory, Albany Ave & Lincoln Road, Scoville, ID 83415-4149. The DOE intends to issue a purchase order to order to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to this solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors, in order of importance, will be used for evaluation purposes: (1) Level of automation for the purge and trap Multi-Matrix Autosampler in terms of sample capacity and efficiency. (2) Warranty and service provision. (3) Price. Offerors must include sufficient material to permit the Government to determine that the proposed instruments will meet or exceed the technical specifications above. Please include in the quote package the required provisions, descriptive literature and a schedule of prices for the following items: Item 1 - Autosampler and accessories; Item 2 - Sample Concentrator and accessories; Item 3 - Installation and Training. Two copies of each, should be submitted to U.S. Department of Energy, Idaho Operations Office (NE-ID), Attn: Kathleen Stallman, 1955 Fremont Ave., MS 1221, Idaho Falls, ID 83401-1221 on or before 3:00 p.m., MST, March 31, 2004.
