This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation number is 1071608-1. This solicitation is issued as a Request for Quote (RFQ). Quotations are due (7) days from the publication date of this synopsis or 7 May 2010, by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, local prevailing time in Atlanta, GA at the Food and Drug Administration, Attention: Thomas Dumas, 60 8th Street, NE, Atlanta, GA 30309.

The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2005-40, effective April 22, 2010. The associated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 334516 – Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing and business size is 500 employees. The Food and Drug Administration has a requirement for an APPI/APCI Interface Probe p/n 176001645 to include installation for use with an existing Xevo TQ Mass Spectrometer System p/n 176850022. The APPI/APCI probe is to allow for the detection and quantitation of wider range of chemical hazards in seafood, thus providing increased public health protection. Salient Characteristics of the APPI/APCI Dual-Mode Ionization: The Atmospheric Pressure Photoionization (APPI) source, in conjunction with Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Ionization (APCI) allows independent APPI and APCI experiments with the ability to acquire APPI and APCI data in the same analysis. The IonSabre APCI probe introduces samples into the ion source, which incorporate a Syagen Technologies 10.6 ev krypton discharge UV lamp. The lamp emits photons that excite analyte molecules and subsequently produce ions through electron ejection. In this process, sample molecules are preferentially ionized when the photon energy exceeds their ionization potential, but is lower than the ionization potential of the surrounding vaporized LC eluent. FOB: Destination. Delivery for equipment and services provided is Food and Drug Administration, 1 Iberville Drive, Dauphin Island, AL 36528. EVALUATION AND AWARD: The Government intends to evaluate proposals and, if necessary conduct discussions with all responsible offerors within the competitive range. The award will be made to the offeror whose proposal conforms to the terms and conditions of the solicitation and award may be made to other than the lowest priced or the highest technically rated offer.
