North American Classification System (NAICS) Code: The intended procurement is classified under NAICS code 811219 – Repair and Maintenance with a Size Standard of $20.5 million. Product and Service Code: J– Maintenance, repair & rebuilding of equipment Set-aside Status: Small Business set-aside restriction is not applicable. Competition Status: This requirement is posted as non-competitive. Non-Competitive (Single-sole Source (Including brand-name)) Determination: This notice of proposed acquisition is posted as an intent to award a purchase order on a non-competitive basis to Shimadzu Scientific Instruments, Inc. 7102 Riverwood Dr, Columbia, MD. The determination by the Government to award a contract without providing for full and open competition is based upon the market research conducted specifically producing no other sources of supply or service capable of achieving this Government requirement. Description of Requirement: The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and the PET Radiopharmaceutical Sciences Section (PRSS) of the Molecular Imaging Branch requires a maintenance contract or Extended Warranty Plus contract for one preparative Ultra Precision Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and one Mass spectrometer (UPLC-MS) installed in our laboratory in building. 49, room 6A 67, and two additional analytical HPLC systems located in building 10, room B3C342. These instruments are used for the purification, detection and analysis of new compounds prepared in this lab while we are pursuing NIMH goal which is the discovery of high affinity ligands for imaging brain receptors in animal models and human. The purpose of this acquisition is to purchase an annual maintenance contract for three Shimadzu High Precision Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) systems and one Shimadzu Liquid Chromatography- Mass Spectrometer (LCMS) on the NIH Campus. These instruments are used to perform the purification of new molecules and their analysis before they can be potentially used as new ligands for imaging selected receptors in Brain. The lab’s ability to synthesize new classes of chemical compounds depends on available technology and especially on complex and sophisticated instruments that can be used safely in the laboratory. Purchase Requirement: Standard upkeep and maintenance will be required for the following systems and components: · Liquid Chromatograph Mass Spectrometer (LCMS-2020) · HPLC System Controller (CBM-20A) · Prominence HPLC Photo Diode Array Detector (SPD-M20A) · Prominence HPLC Column Ovens (CTO-20AC) · Parallel Double Micro Plunger Type solvent delivery (LC-20AD) · Preparative Pump (LC-20AP) · Auto sampler for VP Series HPLC System (SIL-10AP) · Prominence HPLC Auto samplers (SIL-20 ACHT) · Fraction Collector (FRC-10A) · Detector with network switch (CBM-20A) · HPLC analytical pump (LC-20AD) · Degassing unit (DGU-20A3R) · Auto sampler for UFLC Series HPLC System (SIL-20AHT UFLC) · Detector with network switch (SPD-M20A PDA) The Salient characteristics are as follows: The following are the minimum expected during performance of the contract. Any other maintenance required to keep the systems in good working condition are to be performed as well. LCMS-2020 - Replace oil in rough pump - Refurbish ESI and APCI probes - Replace DL pipe assay - Inspect and clean oil mist filter - Clean spray chamber, orifice, Q-array, O-rings, skimmer, and octapole assembly - Run automatic inspection test for RF, gas, and temperature control - Adjust rough pump balance - Auto-tune and calibration - Evaluate performance with standard sample SIL-20 A/C, SIL-20HT A/C and SIL-20AHT UFLC - Replace suction filter, needle seal, LPV and HPV stators, metering pump plunger and seal, needle, and sample loop - Clean LPV and HPV rotors, guide rails and feed screws - Ensure proper purge operation - Check all cable connections - Teach injection port and rack conditions - Confirm needle position at injection port and sample vial SPD-M20 A - Clean dust from instrument - Replace flow filter sheet, cell gaskets, flow cell lenses, D2 lamp, and tungsten lamp - Perform wavelength accuracy check and “Set light exposure test” - Replace filter sheet LC-20 AD and LC-20 AP - Remove dust from fan and electronics - Replace plunger seals, rinse diaphragms, plungers, in-line and suction filters, inlet and outlet check valves - Clean line filter housing, pump heads - Inspect drain valve assembly - Lubricate oil pads, cams, and cam followers - Perform flow rate check FRC-10 A - Inspect flow path for leaks - Ensure proper tubing routing and freedom of motion - Check for mechanical integrity and proper operation of fraction head solenoid valve - Test vial positions DGU-20 A3R - Remove dust from fan and electronics - Replace suction filters - Test leak sensor operation, adjust threshold if necessary - Inspect flow paths for leaks - Verify pressure reading if connected to a LC-20 series pump - Test proper initialization and vacuum pump down CBM-20 A - Remove dust from fan and electronics - Perform memory check if data loss is acceptable to customer or backup/reload is viable - Verify communication and connectivity to all peripherals including connected HPLC modules and PC - Check/set proper time/date - Inspect internal and external cable connections Place of Contract Performance: National Institutes of Health (NIMH) Bethesda Maryland Period of Performance: 12 month from the date of contract award.
