- Description
- This Request for Proposals describes the requirements for a Dynamic Light Scattering system (DLS) designed for non-invasive analysis of the population of particles, i.e. size distribution and volume/mass. The requirement is for a combination of DLS instrument with Zeta potential (ZP) measurements. Zeta potential refers to the electrostatic potential generated by the accumulation of anions at the surface of the colloidal/nano particle. Under this RFP Brookhaven Science Associates (BSA), operator of the Department of Energy?s Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), will award a firm fixed price contract for a Dynamic Light Scattering system. This, acquisition, is a, ?Best Value?, procurement. The utilization of this procedure is expected to provide the greatest overall benefit to BSA/BNL. ?Best Value? employs a trade off process that permits award to other than the lowest priced offeror or to the highest technically rated offeror. The tradeoff process, associated with Best Value involves a comparative weighing of the evaluation factors and sub-factors identified in the Request for Proposals (RFP). Specifically, the trade off process involves selecting the most advantageous offer based upon an integrated assessment of both non-cost/price factors, taken in their assigned relative importance. The following factors, in their relative order of weighting, will be utilized to evaluate the offers: - General Technical Specifications: Submit operating specifications for the proposed DLS system utilizing the same format (Section and Sub-Section numbering) presented by the specifications contained in the solicitation. - System Support: Submit calibration procedures and warranty and extended warranty terms and conditions. - Performance Risk: Submit references, points of contact and telephone numbers for all installations of DLS or similar systems for the last 3 years. Proposals are due March 27, 2006, by 4:00 PM, EDT, and shall be submitted to Brookhaven Science Associates, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Attention: D. Paveglio, Bldg. 355, Upton, NY 11973, by US mail This RFP has been sent to the following known manufacturers: Malvern Instruments, Inc 10 Southville Road Southborough, MA 01772 All other interested manufacturers my download the complete Request for Proposal attached to this announcement.
