Ultra-High-Performance Liquid Chromatograph (UHPLC) for San Juan Laboratory and Pacific Southwest Medical Products Laboratory for the Food and Drug Administration, (FDA) Background The U.S. FDA San Juan Laboratory (SJNL) and ??Pacific Southwest Medical Products Laboratory (PSMPL) need to replace existing HPLC systems used for routine HPLC sample analysis. The systems in use need to maintain cGMP/cGLP, ISO/IEC 17025-2017, ISO 9001:2008, and 21 CFR 11 standards for use as analytical equipment under the current accreditation. The systems are used to screen and analyze medical product samples using specific protocols and methods established by USP, internal FDA, DOD SLEP, and the FCC program. As a Medical Product Specialty Laboratory, the laboratories use HPLC technology to analyze a variety of drug samples. The FDA laboratories needs to update the existing HPLCs to a new UHPLC systems with modern HPLC/UPLC capabilities. Specifically, replacing the older broken chromatographic HPLC systems with a new, workgroup/enterprise compatible, UHPLCs with high pressure, quaternary solvent gradient, and temperature-controlled capabilities. The new UHPLCs can achieve higher resolution with improved chromatographic separations, faster analyses, and sophisticated data analysis and reporting, while achieving lower cost operations, with fast analysis and reporting, less solvent consumption, and electrical demand. Scope/Requirements/Deliverables The Contractor shall provide all resources necessary to accomplish the tasks and deliverables described in this Statement of Work (SOW).
