(vi) Description of Requirement. On April, 7 2014 the Kellogg Soil Survey Laboratory (KSSL) was required to upgrade all computer operating systems from Windows XP to Windows 7. As a result, the older Metrohm titrators used at the KSSL need to be replaced due to incompatibility issues with Windows 7, leaving them non-functional. The KSSL seeks to purchase a Metrohm 904 Titrando titrator and 898 XYZ sample changer as a replacement for two older, non-Windows 7 compatible units. In order to continue to provide support to USDA customers and deliver soil data in a timely fashion an additional titrator needs to be purchased. Keeping with Metrohm brand titrators minimizes down time due to employee training and method development and allows for interchangeability of instrument parts and consumables, methods and personnel between the older model Metrohm titrators and the proposed 904 Titrando.
