Description

Amend combined solicitation/synopsis number W91ZLK-06-T-0219 to include the following requirements: Item - Mass spectrometer detectors, vapor sampling tubes, thermal desorption devices as a total analytical package for the Agent Fate DTO. Equipment Requirements - Five new wind tunnels are currently being constructed and characterized for use by the Agent Fate Program. The Agent Fate Program requires analytical equipment to analyze the vapor collected from the tunnel IAW the Agent Fate progr am DTO. The equipment requirements include: 1) Must include delivery, installation, setup, one year warranty, and familiarization of the systems. All equipment must be capable of operating on a standard 120 V power system. All equipment must be supplied f rom a single vendor. 2) Rapid quote turn-around, due to the high-priority and time-sensitivity of the program. 3) A quantity of vapor sampling tubes to meet the analytical throughput of the 6 wind tunnels. 4) A vapor tube auto-sampler capable of holding 100 tubes at one time for high-throughput. 5) Serve as a detector for all chemical agents. 6) Identical in performance to current analytical capital for direct data comparison between all wind tunnels. 7) A complete and integrated analytical package with complete compatibility with the existing systems and capital. 8) The mass spectrometer must be able to scan from 2-800 amu in 0.1 amu steps at scan speeds up to 5200 amu/sec. 9) The quadrupole mass fi lter must consist of a one-piece gold-plated quartz hyperbolic filter with the faces permanently aligned. 10) The quadrupole temperature shall be user selectable between 100 and 200 degrees C. 11) The Ionization current shall be selectable over the range 0-315 microamperes. 12) The Ion source temperature shall be selectable between 100 and 250 degrees C. 13) The GC-MS interface temperature shall be selectable between 100 and 320 degrees C. 14) The mass axis stability shall be +/- 0.15 amu per 12 hour t ime period. 15) The capillary direct interface must be short to provide better sensitivity and less sample degradation. 16) The dynamic range of the instrument must be over 6 orders of magnitude. 17) The linear dynamic range shall be over 4 orders of ma gnitude. 18) Sensitivity: Electron Impact, Scan Mode - 1 pg of octafluoranapthalene in 1 uL iso-octane injected in pulsed splitless mode onto a 30 m x 0.25 mm x 0.25 um 5% phenyl methyl silicone column, with data acquired at 2.9 cycles/second across a mas s range of 50-300 amu, shall yield an RMS signal/noise of at least 20:1 for the extracted ion signal at m/z 272. 19) Sensitivity: Electron Impact, selected Ion Monitoring (SIM)-20 fg of octafluoronapthalene injected in 1 uL of iso-octane onto a 30 m x 0.2 5 mm x 0.25 um 5% phenyl methyl silicone column, with data acquired at 1.9 cycles/second and a dwell time of 500 ms, shall yield an RMS signal/nolse of at least 10:1 for the extracted ion signal at m/z 272. 20) GC must utilize Swagelok fittings for all ga s lines. Oven temperature range from 4 degrees C above ambient temperature to 450 degrees C, allowing for optimal splitless inlet sampling procedures for trace analysis. 21) Electronic Pneumatic Control should adjust for atmospheric pressure and ambient t emperature changes in real time to provide the highest precision in analyte retention time. 22) Built-in and permanently calibrated barometer and thermometer to compensate far ambient laboratory changes for maximum reproducibility. 23) Injectors and dete ctors must be modular to permit exchange in 5 minutes. 24) Able to control two detectors simultaneously with the mass spectrometer. 25) System must automatically shut off gases in the event of a leak. 26) The retention time must be reproducible to within 0.007 minutes using n-decane. 27) Stability over 72 hours varies less than 0.060 psi. 20) Should have LAN and RS-232 interfaces and two analog output ports. 29) Must have 6 ramp and 7 plateau oven temperature pro gramming flexibility. 30) Oven temperature range: Ambient + 4 degrees C to 450 degrees C without cryo, to -80 degrees C with cryo. 31) Must have power fall memory protection. 32) GC must control 7 heated zones: 1 oven, 2 injectors, 2 detectors, and 2 au xiliary. 33) Must have built-in diagnostics and comprehensive self tests. 34) Must have a built in control for an autosampler. All other information contained in the combined synopsis/solicitation including the response date remains the same.
