E-MAIL: Click here to contact the Contract Specialist via, Brenda.J.Raphelt@mvk02.usace.army.mil. USACE, Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) proposes to issue a sole source award open market and under GSA Contract GS-00F-4773A to Varian Analytical Instruments, 2700 Mitchell Drive, Walnut Creek, CA 94598 for the purchase of the following items: one (1) each -- Saturn 2000 MS only, Turbo Pump, 110V, Part No. 0393002019 (Includes: Ion trap Mass Spectrometer with Turbomolecular Pumping System, roughing pump, IEEEE board and cable for MS control. The ION Trap Mass Spectrometer supports Wave~Board Technologies and Programmed Acquisition in any mode of operation. The system includes software for full instrument control, data handling and library search routines from NIST, Wiley, Pfleger-Mauer-Weber drug and pesticide library or custom libraries. Standard spectral libraries included are: TR (Terpenes) with approx. 600 spectra. TX (Toxicology) with approx. 1,300 spectra. GP (General Purpose) with about 3,000 spectra. Star workstation software [included] enables the operation of all GC optionsto include EFC and simultaneous operation of a second GC detector [such as ECD]. Includes roughing pump and test column [CP-Sil 8CB low bleed/MS 30M x 0.25mm, 0.25mm, 0.25*m].); Installation Kit, MS, Upgrade of 3400 -- This is an interface kit which allows Saturn 2000 MS to be connected to an existing 3400 CG. The kit includes side panel and components to install the MS transfer line, a test column (DB-5ms) and GC communication kit. Kit includes carrier gas filters, injector inserts, septa and ferrules required to recondition a GC before the installation of a mass spectrometer, Part No. 0393012091; MS/MS Technology, Saturn 2000, Factory Install -- features the ability to isolate a single ion or range of ions for Collision Induced Dissociation (CID) by either field modulated resonant or non-resonant excitation. CID parameters can be time programmed to optimize the detection of each analyte in the chromatogram. ToolKit features allow automated methods development of CID parameters, multiple reaction monitoring for coeluting analytes, MS/MS/MS and u-SIS on up to five ions., Part No. 0393011101; Selected Ejection CI Saturn 2000, Factory install -- features the capability of using gas or liquid reagents. CI can be switched on/off within a chromatogram for complete CI/EI automation. Includes gas saver option., Part No. 0393010501; Liquid CI Inlet, Single Solvent, Saturn 2000 -- Safety shielded 5-6 mL reservoir for use with a single liquid reagent. Flow restrictor optimized for solvents with vapor pressures similar to methanol or acetonitrile., Part No. 0393002291; Silchrom Electrodes Saturn 2000, Factory Install -- The filament end cap, multiplier end cap and ring electrodes are coated with silica (patented) through a proprietary process. The coating assures inert electrode surfaces to satisfy the most demanding analyses (polars, high boiling compounds, etc)., Part No. 0393001901; Ion Guage Saturn 2000, Factory Install -- Allows direct measuremnet of manifold vacuum., Part No. 0393005201; Parts Only Service Contract, Part No. MSSYS01000; Turbo Molecular Pump Torino V-70, New, Part No. 0392054200; CD-ROM, NIST 98 MS LIB DB in Saturn & NIST, Part No. 0391082401, combination package of both the NIST98 Library (approx. 130,000 spectra) for Saturn software and the NIST Mass Spectral Library Search Program Version 1.6. The program performs library searches using the proprietary NIST search algorithm and allows the display of compound structures contained in the database. License also activates NIST search algorithm for use in SaturnView. Windows based software distributed in CD format.; Basic Techniques of GC/MS, Part No. TSCOURSE3-1, this course teaches the basic principles of GM/MS and operation of the Varian Saturn GC/MS system. The proposed award action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit a quote. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotes. However, all quotes received within 15 days after date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this action based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. If you are interested in submitting a quote, call Brenda J. Raphelt at 601/631-7905, requesting specifications. Posted 08/27/99 (W-SN373677). (0239)
