- Description
- Concerns having the ability to furnish the equipment described herein are requested to give written notification (including the telephone number for a point of contact) to the procuring office above within 14 calendar days from the date of this synopsis. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), GD, CICT, Denver, CO has a requirement for a Trace Ultra Gas Chromatograph and Combustion/Thermal Conversion interface, for the separation, purification, and combustion of individual compounds in complex samples for hydrogen, carbon, and nitrogen isotope analysis for the Delta Plus XP mass spectrometer recently acquired from Thermo Fisher. The peripheral devices must consist of two main components, with several individual components specified to each: Gas chromatograph: split/splitless injector; temperature programmable column oven, flame ionization detector, digital pressure and flow control and Combustion Interface: backflush system, three temperature controlled capillary micro-reactors (oxidation, reduction, and pyrolysis furnaces, capable of quantitative combustion at 1000C and 1450C respectively). Based on information available at this time, and in accordance with 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(i), implementation by FAR 5.302-1, the Government considers the specified equipment as a sole source procurement from Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham MA 02454 and proposes to negotiate a contract with that firm on that basis. However, should additional sources be identified, they will be considered. Firms who feel that they can furnish the required supplies and services are invited to submit in writing an affirmative response to this announcement, and such other materials which correspond to the required items stated herein. This information will be evaluated and used to determine if competitive opportunities exist. Since no solicitation document exists, requests for such document without accompanying information will be considered non-responsive to this request without further consideration. This notice may represent the Government's only notice of this procurement.
