- Description
- The Department of Veterans Affairs VA Connecticut Health Care System (VACHCS) intends to negotiate a commercial (FAR Part 12) sole source contract with Varian Chromatography under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) FAC 2005-26. Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. A justification for other than full and open competition is being prepared in support of this acquisition. Items being procured must be the same as or equal to: 0393550001 - Prostar 210 Solvent Delivery Module Flow rate range from 10 uL to 100 mL/min dependent on Pump Head selection. Flow Accuracy of +/-1% of selected flow rate or +/-0.05% of maximum flow, whichever is greater. Flow Reproducibility of +/-0.1% of selected flow rate or +/-0.005% of maximum flow whichever is greater. Unlimited timed events per program. 100 Program Storage capability. Battery backup memory. Loop counter and method linking for standalone automation operation. 3 Time programmed relays out. 5 Relay Inputs. Automatic Solvent Compressibility Compensation. Can be combined with 2 or 3 ProStar 210/215 solvent delivery module to form a binary or ternary gradient system. - 2 EA; 0393552501 - 8700 PSI Pressure Module Ti, 10ml/min Maximum pressure of 8700 psi (597 bar) Maximum flow rate of 10 mL/min - 1 EA; R007101061 - SST Pump Head Kit 10 ml Maximum Pressure Limit is 8700 psi (597 bar) for ProStar 210, 215 and 218 Modules - 2 EA; 03933554801 - Internal 1.2 ml SS Mixer - 1 EA; R000481802 - VALVE PRIME/PURGE SS 1/16" - 1 EA; R000081391 - 1/16 SS GRD CSTM PLMBNG SETUP/CHKOUT, FOR FACTORY INSTALLED ORDERS ONLY - 1 EA; 0393556091 - KIT, SOLVENT TRAY AND HOLDER - 1 EA; 0393587402 - PROSTAR 500 CVM, ELECTRIC W/DISPLAY - 1 EA; 0393589701 - 7725i Anal.Injector VLV,SST,ProStar 500 - 1 EA; 0393586691 - CVM FIELD KIT,6-COLUMN SELECTION - 1 EA; 0010081500 - ProStar 325 UV/Vis Dual WL Detector Wavelength Range: 190 - 900nm Light Sources: deuterium for UV and Quartz halogen for Vis Spectral bandwidth: 6nm Wavelength precision +/- 0.1nm Wavelength accuracy: +/- 1nm at 260 nm Noise-single WL: +/- 5 x 10-6 AU peak-to-peak at 254 nm, 2 sec response time, 1ml/min MeOH, 9mm flow cell Noise - Dual WL: +/- 10 x 10-6 AU peak-to-peak at 254/280 nm, 2 sec response time, 1ml/min MeOH, 9mm flow cell Noise- dry cell: typically, +/- 3x 10-6 AU peak-to-peak at 254 nm, 2 sec response time Drift: less than 1mAU/hr Linearity, with acetone in water: analytical 1% to 2 AU, preparative 1% to 20 AU at 265 nm Absorbance range: up to 70 AU with preparative flow cell Response time, selectable: 0.05, 0.5, 1 and 2 sec Data rate: 20 Hz single channel Analog outputs: two with selectable absorbance range of 0.001 to 100 AU full scale at 1V Control: Ethernet / IR with handheld device Contact closure outputs: four time-programmable external event relays, one peak sense relay, three synchronization signals (ready in, start in, and fault in) Software: Star Workstation, Galaxie Workstation, Galaxie CDS, Handheld PDA Dual wavelength ratio calculation: peak detection through Star or Galaxie Workstation Operation: 100C to 350C: relative humidity from 5% to 95% Non operational storage: -200C to 650C Dimensions: 8.3 in/21.1 cm (h) x 11.7 in/29.6 cm (w) x 18.7 in/47.7 cm (d) Weight: 34.2 lbs / 15.5 kg Pathlengths: single and dual, interchangeable Single pathlength flow cells: semi-micro 4mm, 1.5uL, analytical 9mm, 15uL Dual pathlength flow cells: semi-preparative 9mm x 1mm, Super-preparative 4mm x 0.15mm Maximum flow rate: semi-micro flow cell 20 mL/min Analytical flow cell 100 mL/min Semi-prep flow cell 500 mL/min Super-prep flow cell 10 L/min Pressure: 1000 psi maximum - 1 EA; 0210181800 - Flow Cell for ProStar 325/335 9x0 (analytical), 15 uL, 100 mL/min flow rate max, 1000 psi - 1 EA; 0210186590 13 Assy PWB Sync. interface 325/335 - 1 EA; 0110744200 - ProStar 325/335 Analog Signal Cable - 1 EA; 0395000096 - Galaxie Software with Varian LC Control, 1 - 1 EA; 0393546291 - RS-485/422 ProStar to Galaxie comm. cable - 1 EA; 0390793711 - STAR 800 MIB WITH SERIAL & 2 ADC, ***S/N________________________***, - 1 EA; 0390793802 - ANALOG CABLE, TINNED ENDS, 3M F/800 MIB - 2 EA; 0390793814 - Serial Cable, RJ45 to 9-pin D-shell, 6 inches - 1 EA; 0392612922 - ETHERNET SWITCH WITH AUTOSENSING, 100-240 VAC AUTOSENSING POWER SUPPLY - 1 EA; 0010083800 - ProStar 335 DAD, Microbore to Analytical, The ProStar 335 Diode Array Detector - 1 EA; 0210181800 - Flow Cell for ProStar 325/335 9x0 (analytical), 15 uL, 100 mL/min flow rate max, 1000 psi - 1 EA; 0390793701 - STAR 800 MIB W/2 ADC CHANNELS, ***S/N________________________*** 1 EA; 0390793802 - ANALOG CABLE, TINNED ENDS, 3M F/800 MIB - 2 EA; 0110744200 - ProStar 325/335 Analog Signal Cable - 1 EA; 0393556091 - KIT, SOLVENT TRAY AND HOLDER - 1 EA; 0393587402 - PROSTAR 500 CVM, ELECTRIC W/DISPLAY - 1 EA; 0393589701 - 7725i Anal.Injector VLV,SST,ProStar 500 - 1 EA; 0393586691 - CVM FIELD KIT,6-COLUMN SELECTION - 1 EA; LCCERT - LC AIQ, Anayltical Instrument Qualification - 4 EA.
