The Government reserves the right to award a contract without discussions, if the Contracting Officer determines that the initial offer(s) is/are providing the Best Value and discussions are not necessary. This solicitation is issued as a request for Quotation (RFQ). The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is seeking competition from vendors capable of providing the following: CHEF Mapper XA Chiller System that must be compatible with the PulseNet system to perform PFGE. Instrument must be newly manufactured unit, not used or refurbished or previously used for demonstration. Minimum Technical Specifications: •Compatible with the Centers for Disease Control PulseNet system to perform PFGE (Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis) •Equipment must have the flexibility to run FIGE (Field Inversion Gel Electrophoresis). Available with asymmetric forward and reverse voltages. •Equipment must have algorithms to derive run conditions from basic user input of a desired resolution range for the DNA fragments. •Unit must be able to store frequently used programs, program storage 20 average protocols •Power supply 350 V maximum, to allow maximum gradient of 9 V/cm, continuously adjustable •Maximum current 0.5 amperes •Allowable voltage gradients 0, and 0.6–9 V/cm, in 0.1 V/cm increments •Battery back up all parameters in memory •Delayed start up to 72 hours •Electrode potentials Dynamically regulated (feedback adjustment) ± 0.5% •Switching range 50 msec to 18 hr •Switch angle variable 0-360 degrees (all electronic switching) in 0.5° increments •Multistate vector up to 15 vectors per pulse cycle, each switching definable by angle, voltage, and switch time •Switch time ramps Linear, concave, or convex using hyperbolic function •Interrupt pulses defined by voltage, frequency, angle, and switch time •Chamber dimensions 11 x 43 x 44 cm, horizontal format, Acrylic construction with a lid safety interlocked •Variable speed 120 V, ground isolated; flow rate 1 liter/min, oscillating pump •Temperature probe Digital readout from power module, 4 °C to50 °C, ±0.5 °C maximum error •Chiller cooling capacity 75 watts of input power at 14 °C, operating range 5 °C - 25 °C •Bar code reader •Supplier provides shipping to each of labs listed above. •Warranty period of one-year Price: The vendor shall provide a price in accordance with the requirements of the technical specifications. The proposed price shall also include the manufacturer’s warranty parts and labor.
