Wolfe, Jr., 304/285-5883 THIS IS A COMBINED SYNOPSIS/SOLICITATION FOR COMMERCIAL ITEMS PREPARED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FORMAT IN SUBPART 12.6, AS SUPPLEMENTED WITH ADDITIONAL INFORMATION INCLUDED IN THIS NOTICE. THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONSTITUTES THE ONLY SOLICITATION; BIDS ARE BEING REQUESTED AND A WRITTEN SOLICITATION WILL NOT BE ISSUED. This notice is issued as Amendment #001 to Request for Quotation No. RQ99-033 issued in the CBD on June 25, 1999, as Submission No. 347346. As a result of questions received in response to the solicitation for the quadrupole mass spectrometer/multiple gas analyzer, the specification is modified as follows: The analyzer will be used to measure the concentration of O2, N2, CO2, He, and SF6 in the respiratory gases of various laboratory animals. The capability to add on detection of other gases/agents is desirable. A mobile unit would be preferred; a unit with wheels is desired, but not a necessity. There may be a need for some sort of drying device. A drying device, if available, should be proposed as a separate line item. A fairly sensitive flow meter is needed on the inlet port (10-120ml/min), then an adapter or fitting to attach this flow meter to our sampling line is also needed. A unit brand name or equal to a RAMS M-100 manufactured by Marquette Medical Systems, Milwaukee, WI is desired. With issuance of the modification/clarifications above, the due date for receipt of offers is extended to 2:00 p.m. local prevailing time on July 23, 1999. All other terms and conditions contained in the original announcement/solicitation remain unchanged and in full force and effect. Offerors shall acknowledge this amendment with their quote.
