This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. (ii) The solicitation number is NIHDA201800369 and the solicitation is issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ) on a Full and Open competitive basis. This acquisition is for a commercial item or service and is conducted under the authority of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13-Simplified Acquisition Procedures; FAR Subpart 13.5-Test Program for Certain Commercial Items; and FAR Part 12-Acquisition of Commercial Items, and is expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold of $150,000.00. A Fixed-Price type of contract is contemplated for any resulting contract entered into as a result of this solicitation. (iii) The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) Number/Effective Date: 2005-99-1 July 16, 2018. (iv) The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 334516 Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing with size standard 1,000 employees. (v) Background The National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) was officially established in fiscal year 2012 to transform the translational science process so that new treatments and cures for disease can be delivered to patients faster. NCATS, one of 27 Institutes and Centers (ICs) at NIH, strives to develop innovations to reduce, remove or bypass costly and time-consuming bottlenecks in the translational research pipeline in an effort to speed the delivery of new drugs, diagnostics and medical devices to patients. Through collaborations with industry, academia, patient advocacy and other nonprofit groups and in cooperation with other NIH ICs and government agencies, NCATS provides: Pre-clinical drug development expertise and access to resources; assistance generating data needed for regulatory approval; and a variety of mechanisms to streamline partnerships and collaborations. NCATS collaborates with investigators to study and develop compounds and molecules to further translational research. The Division of Preclinical Innovation (DPI) within NCATS strives to create and test innovative methods to improve and accelerate the drug development process and find new treatments for patients faster. DPI discovers new uses for approved drugs to provide the quickest possible transition from bench to bedside through early- and late- stage Drug repurposing. DPI develops better model systems for drug and toxicity testing and identifies and rigorously validates the molecular targets underlying disease progression. Using state-of-the-art resources to enable the ongoing operation of all NCATS translational research activities, DPI's cross-cutting core technologies enable the ongoing operation of all the Center's research activities in the fields of automation, compound management, analytical chemistry and informatics, among others. Purpose and Objective: The purpose of this requirement is to obtain a Mass Spectrometer to accommodate the expanding scientific needs of numerous programs within NCATS in accordance with the specifications described in this notice, on a Brand-Name-Or-Equal basis to the Thermo Scientific TM Orbitrap Fusion Lumos TM MS system, manufactured by Thermo Electron North America, LLC, including the Part Numbers, or equal, and Salient Characteristics needing to be achieved. The subject supply shall be warrantied in accordance with the Offeror's standard commercial warranty practices. In addition to enhancing existing mass spectrometry experimental capabilities, a state-of-the-art mass spectrometer will enable analysis techniques not currently available within the Center. Mass Spectrometry is an extremely powerful analytical tool that chemists and biologists use in the identification and quantitation of various chemical entities ranging in size from small molecules to antibodies. Access to a next generation MS instrument that possesses the highest level of experimental capabilities is imperative to propel DPI research forward in the successful pursuit of the NCATS mission. Product Description: Products offered must include those salient physical, functional, or other characteristics that are deemed essential in meeting the government's needs. Specifically, the following are considered the salient characteristics for this requirement: Combines quadrupole, linear ion trap, and mass analyzers and features CID, HCD, ETD and EThcD fragmentation techniques, available at any stage of MSn analysis, with subsequent mass analysis in either ion trap or mass analyzer. Inlet source housing with x- and y-direction probe positioning and a fixed on-axis view port. All gas and voltage connections hard connected automatically, generating fluoranthene anions for electron transfer dissociation (ETD) and the internal calibrant ions for real-time mass calibration of any spectrum. Independent dual barrel syringe pump and injector/divert valve with mounting bracket controlled via the data station for maximum flexibility. Vacuum system containing a split-flow turbomolecular pump, which controls the vacuum in multiple regions for improved vacuuming resulting in improved ion transfer to the mass analyzer High capacity transfer tube and an electrodynamic ion funnel to capture and efficiently focus ions in a tight beam with active beam guide to reduce noise by preventing neutrals and high-velocity clusters from entering the mass filter. Segmented quadrupole mass filter consisting of segmented 4mm field radius quadrupole mass analyzer with a hyperbolic surface providing excellent peak shape and transmission with a minimum resolution. Mass Analyzer with an m/z range of 50-6000, resolving power of up to 500,000 FWHM and isotopic fidelity of up to 240,000 FWHM at m/z 200. Dual-pressure linear ion trap used for MSn precursor ion isolation, collision-induced dissociation (CID) and electron-transfer dissociation (ETD) with ions detected at maximum scan rate of 20 Hz using dual-dynode detector with high linear dynamic range for improved quantitation and a large surface area for increased lifespan and robustness. Independent dual barrel syringe pump and injector/divert valve with mounting bracket, which are both controlled via the data station for maximum flexibility.
