- Notice of Intent for Sole Source The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in Research Triangle Park (RTP) in Durham, North Carolina intends to award, on a sole source basis, to Agilent in accordance with RFO 6.103-1(b) to purchase one high-performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC) interfaced to a triple quad mass spectrometer (MS/MS) and associated peripherals. This procurement is recommended to be processed without full and open competition. EPA�s Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention(OCSPP) Office of Mission Critical Operations, Risk Assessment Support Division�s Laboratory is needing a HPLC to support research that meets OCSPP�s programmatic needs and will replace an aging and outdated instrument utilized exclusively for EDSP assays (eg., steroid and thyroid hormone assays) while simultaneously enhancing high-throughput capabilities for in-vitro screening assays within EDSP and other data requests. This equipment is vital for high-throughput assay automation to generate data for many aspects of OCSPP�s mission to gain knowledge about chemicals and their associated effects on human health and the environment. Agilent-manufactured instruments include unique specifications that are required to conduct the specific assays integral to OCSPP�s work, these instruments include technology that is proprietary to Agilent. These instruments are directly compatible with existing Government-owned Agilent hardware and software in order to continue performance of previously developed assays without interruption The itemized required elements of acquisition are: 6495C Instrument #1 (Options listed below) � G6495CAR � Certified Pre-owned 6495C Triple Quadrupole LC/MS System.
