The intent is to issue the purchase order to Metabolon, Inc., located at 617 Davis Drive, Suite 400 Durham, NC 27713 US.

They employ proprietary LC/MS and GC/MS platforms combined with Metabolon?s in-house patented software to identify hundreds of small molecules in biological samples. Metabolon?s processes and software are protected as intellectual property and are not available through other distribution means. The intended order is in the amount of $15,000.00. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotes. NO SOLICITATION OR REQUEST FOR QUOTE IS AVAILABLE FOR THIS PROCUREMENT.
