It has been determined there are no opportunities to acquire green products or services for this procurement. Project Objectives: The purpose of the procurement is to perform high-performance metabolomics analysis to plasma samples collected from workers exposed to diesel exhaust and their comparable controls, subjects exposed to emissions due to domestic use of coal, and subjects in prospective cohorts that developed NHL and their comparable controls. Contractor Requirements: The Contractor shall: 1) The contractor shall perform the following tasks for 538 plasma samples collected from workers enrolled from a diesel exhaust biomarker study and a case-control study in Xuanwei, including quality control samples. 2) Receive and catalog 538 plasma samples. The receipt of biologic samples should be logged in a MS Excel file including the information of ID and date of receipt. 3) Conduct a high-performance metabolomic analysis using the liquid chromatography-fourier transform mass spectrometry (LC-FTMS) and adaptive processing of high-resolution LCMS data (apLCMS) method. Government Responsibilities NCI will ship 200 ul of plasma from 538 samples to the contractor within one month following the date of award. Samples will be packed in dry ice, coded and will not have any personal identifiers attached.
