- Description
- IGF::OT::IGF Chemical Standard Tracking Software THIS IS REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) NOTICE ONLY for market research purposes to identify interested vendors for the potential requirement detailed below. A formal solicitation and performance work statement are not available. Additionally, in accordance with FAR 19.5, Set-Asides for Small Business, the Government will review the information requested in this announcement to determine the type of set-aside (if any) for this requirement, should it come to fruition. The US Geological Survey (USGS), Organics Division in support of the National Water Quality Laboratory (NWQL) has a potential need for software which will track the expiration date for multiple solutions. The Organics Division of the NWQL prepares several complex solutions for the calibration of instruments used to quantify various organic contaminants in the environment. These calibration solutions are multi-component; some consist of over one hundred analytes. Also, due to the working concentration of these solutions, several intermediate solutions are prepared and subsequently diluted to afford the final working calibration solution. The final working calibration solution and the various intermediate solutions are not approved for use indefinitely. In the absence of a scientifically designed stability testing program, the expiration date of any particular standard is determined by the earliest expiration date specified on the certificate of analysis of any component within the mixture. So, for multi-component mixtures and numerous intermediate solutions, manually tracking expiration dates is tedious and prone to considerable error. NWQL is seeking software which will track the expiration dates for multiple solutions. It should be a fully functional relational database with the following capabilities: Track multiple chemicals, solvents, vendors, lot numbers, and storage locations Audit trail capabilities Stability testing statistical tools Customizable reports Barcode and labeling capabilities Automated expiration date notifications Import existing data Assign custom lot numbers The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 541511, Custom Computer Programming Services and the size standard is $ $27.50 M. There is no incumbent contractor. All business concerns who believe they can responsibly perform this requirement should submit the following information no later than 3PM MST Wednesday, August 15, 2017: 1.
