This solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-11. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, NIOSH, Health Effects Laboratory, Morgantown, WV has a requirement a submicron particle size analyzer capable of measuring mixtures of different sized particles using multiple angle positions of laser light scattering. In addition the instrument must have the capability to do rapid single scans which are necessary to measure rapid changes in the particle sizes of our samples as particles attach to each other in the solution. Provide the following Contract Line Items (CLINS) in accordance with these minimum specifications: 1) Size range capability of 1 - 6000 nanometers; 2) Solid state laser is preferred due to longevity of this type of laser; 3) Minimum acceptable reproducibility of 2%; 4) The concentrations of our samples will be high. Therefore, the instrument should be able to operate with high particle concentrations of at least 30% (weight/volume); 5) Instrument should be capable of determining particle size distribution rapidly (<100 milliseconds) using non-mechanical scanning; 6) Quote should include software, PC, monitor and all necessary accessories (mouse, disk drives, ect) necessary to operate the instrument. This PC will be dedicated to this instrument, and will not be connected to the NIOSH LAN; 7) On-site set-up, calibration and training of lab personnel; 8) Off-site (Factory) training after initial period of using the instrument. This training should allow us to bring samples from our own laboratory, not company standards; and 9) Instrument should be 21 CFR Part 11 compliant.
