- Description
- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for the supply of commercial items prepared in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation, FAR 13 with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONSTITUTES THE ONLY SOLICITATION; PROPOSALS ARE BEING REQUESTED AND A WRITTEN SOLICITATION WILL NOT BE ISSUED. This solicitation number N00189-08-T-N125 is issued as a request for quotation (RFQ). This requirement is unrestricted and the applicable NAICS is 334513 with a small business size standard of 500 employees. Fleet and Industrial Supply Center, Norfolk Naval Shipyard, Maritime Industrial Division intends to procure, under a firm fixed price contract: CLIN 0001: One (1) each Inductively Coupled Plasma Spectrometer and Oven Microwave Sample Preparation System. Shall be able to measure all ICP elements simultaneously. The user shall be able to choose from over 6000 analytical lines and analyze all ICP elements at the best 2-4 analytical background simultaneously. All instrumental parameters shall be under complete computer control. Instrument shall be able to analyze 224 wavelengths simultaneously. The instrument shall use two segmented-array charge-coupled device detectors (SCD). The instrument shall have an optical design that can read between wavelengths ranges 163-782 nm without the requirement for conventional photomultiplier tube. Designed with two solid-state detector to maximize light throughout and provide uniform resolution at all wavelengths. Simultaneous background correction which is also user-selectable with one point, two point high and low wavelength or two point same-side background correct ion. Echelle based optical system. Plasma source with automated dual (radial and axial) viewing within the same analytical run. Unit must have the ability to multi-component spectral fit and eliminate interfering elements. Spectral resolution of six picometers or less at 200nm. The unit must have an Auto-Integration feature, which allows the system to intelligently optimize the detector based on the emission levels found in each sample. The array detector must also incorporate a separate readout device for each sub array which minimizes noise and improve detection limits. The resolution must be better than 0.007 nm in the UV region for spectrally complex samples. Thermostatically controlled optical bench to combat optical drift associated with changes in the operating environment such as humidity and temperature fluctuations. The temperature is monitored at both the optical bench as well as the surrounding optical cavity to maintain equilibrium and consistency. System must include and/or be upgradeable to a thermostatically controlled chamber and nebulizer. Nebulizer and chamber must operate in a separated compartment from the excited torch. Photometric dynamic range shall be from ppb to percentage concentrations. A true solid state RF generator No costly PA tubes needed to operate the ICP system. When replacing the torch, operator must be able to adjust the torch real-time within the load coil while the plasma is on instrument must be able to automatically complete the fine adjustment for the torch. All gas connections on torch must be integrated within the assembly, invisible to the operator when removing the torch the operator does not have to disconnect any gas connections to the torch true quick disconnect torch. Sample must contain an A-93 plus auto sampler for high-throughput sample introduction. New ICP software must be compatible with existing ICP software same utilities, look and flow. New ICP system must be compatible with facilitys auto sampler AS90/91/93. New software must be able to receive methods from current WinLab32 software. Tabletop unit bench shall be provided for the instrument. In addition to IEC, the unit must have the ability to eliminate interfering elements by utilizing the wavelength. Multicomponent Spectral Fitting exhibits better spectral correction ability and enhances detection limits than conventional IEC (Interfering Element Corrections), due to the fact that MSF is not plasma-condition dependent. Therefore the correction ability and accuracy is not sacrificed should the plasma change due to sample, matrix, plasma loading, etc. Oven-multiwave microwave must provide a industrial-type microwave oven, which can be equipped with various accessories, used for wide range of analytical applications in chemical laboratories as closed vessel digestion of organic or inorganic samples, solvent extraction, drying and evaporation. System shall include 1400W continuously-adjustable microwave power. Built-in exhaust and cooling system to reduce total process time and reduce material stress and allows safe and convenient venting of vessel inside the oven. A multitasking microcontroller provides easy and intuitive software solutions. Provide a built-in method library and controls and documents the reaction process parameter. Spill proof key panel and IR temperature sensor accessory. Data shall be displayed on large, graphic LCD screen. Provide digestion for at least 16 vessels or more under closed conditions. Large PTFE-coated cavity for rough laboratory environment. Data System includes: State-of-the-art computer, laser jet printer, keyboard, monitor, memory 1 GB, 1.8 GHZ, factory installed operating system window XP professional SP2, hard drive 160 GB (minimum requirements). Windows XP software also includes the ability to Reprocess all analytical data points at any time post analysis. The ICP software must be compatible with existing ICP software. New software must be able to receive methods from current WinLab 32 software. This reprocessing allows the operator to optimize settings such as the peak wavelength, background correction points and other data criteria. All reprocessing can take place post analysis with reanalysis of the samples. Spectral correction capabilities can also be enabled or disabled during the reprocessing to verify correction needs and effectiveness. Spectral correction software shall be provided for generating on-peak corrections. Two auxiliary connections for external accessories. System must be able to integrate external accessory connection of the FIAS, LC, Laser, etc. All must be coupled with the software with an external integrated time greater than 29 minutes. New ICP system must be able to interface with existing consumables located in the lab (i.e., torch, torch cassette, tubing, hoses, etc.). Installation: System pricing must include installation by the vendor representative and user familiarization and application for minimum of two days. Training: Two day minimum on-site training/three day minimum course off-site training for one person to be provided. Warranty and Service: Provide a one-year warranty on non-consumable parts and labor. One year warranty and three optional additional years warranty. All deliverables shall be FOB Destination, Norfolk Naval Shipyard, Receiving Officer, Bldg. 276, Portsmouth, VA 23709-5000.
