- Description
- The 96 Contracting Squadron, 96 CONS/MSCBS at Eglin AFB, Florida intends to solicit, negotiate, and award a Firm-Fixed Price contract for an Ion Chromatograph Mass Spectrometer. This announcement constitutes a combined synopsis/solicitation. A quote is being requested and no other request for quote will be issued. This solicitation is issued as Request for Quotation (RFQ) F1TBBB8073A001. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 334516, with small business standard size 500 employees. Please identify your business size in your response based upon this standard. This requirement is for the following. CLIN 0001: (1 EACH) Spectrometer; ION Chromatograph Mass, NPN. CLIN 0002: Shipping, if applicable. Technical Requirements and Specification Ion Chromatograph-Mass Spectrometer (IC-MS) The IC-MS system will be used primarily to analyze transition metals, anions, and cations species such as tungsten, aluminum, silver, nickel, gold. The system should be a totally integrated IC-MS system for trace analysis with the following highly desired specifications/capabilities: - The system should include two independent analytical channels that are capable of running two different applications simultaneously. - Capable of simultaneous and sequential injection with two independent temperature zones, 1 for each analytical channel supporting the ideal separation conditions for each application independently. The instrument's column compartment must have two distinct temperature zones to support dissimilar applications. - Integrated Auto sampler must be capable of supporting simultaneous or sequential injections between two different applications and must use a non-metallic flow path. Auto sampler must support the use of either 1.5 or 10 mL vials. Auto sampler options should include temperature control, sample dilution, sample preparation, and column switching capabilities. - IC system should include at least one quaternary pump to limit complexity and footprint, the quaternary pump should be self contained in a single housing. Individual isocratic pumps used in combination are undesirable. - Automated inline calibration capable of anion, cation, and transition metal analysis include a Mass Spectrometer (MS). The bid must describe the MS device including ion source in detail. The MS should be a quadropole type and designed for maximum versatility with both Atmospheric Chemical Ionization (APCI) and Electrospray Ionization (ESI) capabilities. A MS with Atmospheric Pressure Photoionization (APPI) ion source as an option is desirable. The mass spectrometer should include a cone wash technology to continuously clean the source with solvent. - Sample preconcentration, matrix elimination / matrix neutralization. Both the IC and MS systems must be controlled by a single PC based software package. The system shall include self diagnostics. The PC workstation and control software must run under Windows XP as a minimum but MS Vista operating system is preferred. The software should be capable of controlling an optional fraction collector. The data collection software shall be compliant with 21 CFR Part 11 "Electronic Records/Electronic Signatures". - The system should include an integrated automatic dual Eluent preparation/generation capability. Introduction of eluents for anions and cations using electrolysis of deionized water is highly preferred. The eluent introduction system should be designed to minimize operator error, and to increases sensitivity, linearity, versatility, and system up-time. - System should include an automated Suppressor regeneration system, which must not cause peak shift due to suppressor saturation. A system that minimizes hazardous waste generation and minimizes the use of corrosive chemicals is highly preferred. Suppressor system must not cause retention time shifts due to suppressor becoming expended during normal operation. - Warrantee, two year unlimited warrantee to cover all components (except consumables which should be clearly identified) - Training should include a minimum of one day on site familiarization plus and additional two days off site advanced applications training. - Onsite service during warrantee period should be available within 48 hours of notification. - If any of the desired specifications cannot be provided, please highlight and describe your alternative suggestion in detail, giving emphasis to how the following are affected (signal to noise ratio, detection limit, user interaction, stability, reproducibility, instrument down time, cost, etc) - Please provide four references of lab users who have been operating a similar configured IC-MS system. References from the state of Florida highly preferred and at least one should be a state or federal government laboratory.
