The Bioanalytical Science Group of the Biomolecular Measurement Division is involved in the development of reference materials, primarily of protein and peptide analytes, for use in the in vitro diagnostics and biologic pharmaceutical industries.� This work entails the analytical chemistry characterization of several properties of the reference material including concentration, purity, density and post-translational modification state.�� Determination of concentration of these materials is required to be performed by the most advanced methods having high accuracy, high precision, and traceability to the International System of units.� The accepted method for this measurement is isotope-dilution mass spectrometry which consists of a high-performance liquid chromatography system (HPLC) coupled to a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer.� An objective of the group is to provide reference materials at the same concentration level as found in the laboratory specimen, which are often at very low levels.� Therefore, it is also required that the triple quadrupole instrument be of the class having the greatest sensitivity. The current procurement covers the purchase, installation, training and extended warranty of a system which will allow for isotopic-dilution mass spectrometry for the measurement of protein/peptide in a variety of backgrounds including, but not limited to water, composed buffer, serum, plasma, urine. The objective of this solicitation is to establish a Firm-Fixed-Price purchase order based on the specifications described in the attached Statement of Requirements. This solicitation is a Request for Quotation (RFQ). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2020-07, effective August 3, 2020.
