- Classification Code: 66 Subject: Laboratory Equipment & service agreement Solicitation Number: FDA1059002 Response Date: 13 July 2009 DESCRIPTION: THIS IS A COMBINED SYNOPSIS/SOLICITATION FOR COMMERCIAL ITEMS PREPARED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FORMAT IN FAR SUBPART 12.6-STREAMLINED PROCEDURES FOR EVALUATION AND SOLICITATION FOR COMMERCIAL ITEMS-AS SUPPLEMENTED WITH ADDITIONAL INFORMATION INCLUDED IN THIS NOTICE. THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONSTITUTES THE ONLY SOLICITATION; QUOTATIONS ARE BEING REQUESTED, AND A WRITTEN SOLICITATION DOCUMENT WILL NOT BE ISSUED. THIS SOLICITATION IS BEING ISSUED USING SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION PROCEDURES 13.5. This solicitation is a Request for Quotation (RFQ). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 05-33. The associated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 334515 for full and open competition. The FDA intends to issue a firm fixed-price purchase order for a Capillary Electrophoresis (CE) System that meets or exceeds the following specifications: CLIN0001 - Voltage range: 0 - 30kV with 0 - 300 mA; 0 - 6 W under current or power with programmable polarity switch. - Safety features include: current leak detection, low current limit, safety sensors on doors and covers disable high voltage. - Quick change, self-aligning capillary cartridge exchanges in less than a minute. The cartridge is compatible with all other commercially available generic capillaries. Uses 25,50,75, and 100µm standard ID capillaries (365µm OD). - Performs a variety of separation techniques, including capillary electrochromatography (CEC), Capillary Gel Electrophoresis (CGE), and capillary iso-electric focusing (cIEF). - Can be integrated with mass spectrometers. - Quantitative reproducibility with self-correcting pressure injections. - A 48 sample/buffer carousel, offering random vial access from cathode and anode end of capillary. Should have a “vial table” that serves as an intelligent notepad for the vial positions. Uses 100µL sample vials, 1 or 2mL buffer vials with plastic snap caps. - Forced air temperature cooled with peltier elements: 10C below ambient to 60C with a minimum of 4C. - High pressure application to maintain column stability during CEC and to apply maximum voltage and use conductive mobile phases; also useful for flushing viscous buffers for CGE applications. - A diode-array detector with wavelength range of 190 to 600 nm (±1nm). It must be capable of simultaneously monitoring at least 5 different wavelengths and providing a spectra of eluting peaks using a standard flow-cell. - System comes with a one-year manufacturer’s warranty. Specific SPECS The current primary chromatography data acquisition software is Agilent’s Chemstation, the new CE system and its components must be compatible with and controllable through Chemstation software. The CE package must include an on-site installation with customer familiarization and a one-year warranty. QUESTIONS DEADLINE: all questions must be received by email (keith.austin@fda.hhs.gov) before 1:00 pm (1300) EST on 7 July 2009. Delivery terms shall be FOB Destination.
