- Description
- PRICING SCHEDULE GENERAL QUESTIONS SHEET This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for the purchase of commercial items, prepared in accordance with the format in FAR 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation. Quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. Solicitation number PR-R7-10-00063 is applicable and is issued as a request for quotation. The solicitation and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through the most current Federal Acquisition Circular to date. This requirement is "Small Business Set-Aside" with a NAICS Code of 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing), and a size standard in number of employees, 500. The description of the commercial item is for the purchase of a Varian 450-GC (Gas Chromatograph). CLIN 1 : VARIAN 450-GC ECD/ECD/1177/1177 EFC 120V GEN CLIN 2 : VARIAN CP-8400 AUTOSAMPLER CLIN 3 : VARIAN CP3800 CG INSTALLATION KIT CLIN 4 : VARIAN GALAXIE SOFTWARE W/GC CONTROL CLIN 5 : DELL OPTIPLEX 960 MT CLIN 6 : DELL PC MONITOR, 22-INCH WIDESCREEN CLIN 7 : HP LASERJECT P2015D PRINTER CLIN 8 : VARIAN INSTALLATION TRAINING MODULE Only quotations for the Varian manufactured 450-GC will be considered technically acceptable. No other manufacturer's instrument will be deemed acceptable based on the following justification: The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Region 7 (R7), Science and Technology Center's (STC) National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Conference (NELAC) accreditation is specific to the Varian GCs. The analytical methods are instrument specific and deviation from the Varian GCs would require STC personnel to re-write analytical methods to include instrumentation from other manufacturers. Use of GCs from other manufacturers would generate different sets of quality control (QC) results; current QC limits are based on historical data. EPA R7 STC cannot rely on results of multiple analytical methods as this would cause accreditation problems; furthermore, the Environmental Services Assistance Team (ESAT) contractors must use methods consistent with the EPA and the methods currently used are specific to Varian instruments. Dell manufactured products are the agency standard for : 1) base level administrative desktop computers; 2) mid and high level PCs, and; 3) base, mid and high level scientific laptops, notebooks, servers and monitors.
