- Description
- NAICS Code: 333997 The U.S. Forest Service, under the authority of the FAR Subpart 13.5 authority of 41 U.S.C. 1901; (modified FAR 6.302-1), intends to issue a firm fixed price, sole source purchase order to METTLER-TOLEDO. Purchase of Mettler Toledo Titrator Excellence T7 and InMotion Pro autosampler, along with all necessary accessories. Purpose is to conduct measurements of Ph, Acid Neutralization Capacity, and Specific Conductance in water samples affiliated with short and long-term research studies at the Forestry Sciences laboratory in Grand Rapids, MN. The Forestry Sciences laboratory in Grand Rapids, MN requires use of LabX Titration software in order to maintain consistency and comparability to datasets dating back as long as 60 years. Our current instrumentation operates on a LabX platform, and the methods are directly compatible and transferable to the proposed instrument to be purchased. LabX is patented by Mettler Toledo LLC and is not available from any other source. Quotes have been solicited from multiple sources in the past. Upon purchase of a "comparable" instrument within the last 5 years, it was determined that we were delivered false information on the capabilities and it was returned to the vendor. The inability to use a Gran plot method and create comparable methodologies were the primary justifications for the return. It is our upmost intent to assure that this does not happen again. Quotes were solicited from multiple sources in the past. The Mettler Toledo Titrator Excellence T7, along with InMotion Pro autosampler and all required accessories best fit the analytical requirements of the Grand Rapids Forestry Sciences laboratory as well as all other collaborators involved with us and our research. NOTE: THIS NOTICE WAS NOT POSTED TO FEDBIZOPPS ON THE DATE INDICATED IN THE NOTICE ITSELF (03-JUL-2019); HOWEVER, IT DID APPEAR IN THE FEDBIZOPPS FTP FEED ON THIS DATE. PLEASE CONTACT 877-472-3779 or fbo.support@gsa.gov REGARDING THIS ISSUE.
