- Description
- The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) intends to award a Purchase Order on a non-competitive, sole source basis purchase to Varian, Inc. 2700 Mitchell Drive, Walnut Creek, CA 94598. FDA intends to purchase part number 0392760392, MS/MS upgrade, 1500 Dalton, Field Kit, for 1200L single to triple quad. Varian shall install the instrument. Varian, Inc is the sole manufacturer of the MS/MS upgrade kit for the Varian 1200 L GC-MS system currently owned by the Agency. No other known company makes an upgrade to allow a single quadropole instrument to be converted to a triple quadropole GC-MS instrument. This upgrade will provide FDA scientists an additional tool for identification and confirmation of unknown analytes related to both food defense and food safety. The addition of the GC/MS/MS upgrade to current FDA instrumentation would increase the laboratory capabilities available for this and other projects at a much lower cost than purchasing a new GC/MS/MS system. This upgrade will not only provide GC/MS/MS analysis but would afford a future upgrade to a LC/MS/MS system with minimal additional funding. FDA intends to make an award fifteen (15) days from the date of this notice. This is not a request for quotes; however sources may submit descriptive literature, fully documenting their capabilities, which will be considered by the Government. A determination to compete this procurement based on response(s) to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. All responses or questions regarding this posting must be in writing and can be sent via email to patricia.wright@fda.hhs.gov. No phone calls will be accepted. An award will be made immediately after the response date of this notice. The award will be made in accordance with FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures.
