- Description
- (I) This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6 as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. (II) The solicitation number is HHS-NIH-NIDA-NIA-CSS-20-006771 and the solicitation is issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ). This solicitation is issued as a competitive full and open with no set-aside restrictions for the brand-name or equal product specified herein. This acquisition is for a commercial item or service and is conducted under the authority of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13�Simplified Acquisition Procedures; FAR Subpart 13.5�Simplified Procedures for Certain Commercial Items; and FAR Part 12�Acquisition of Commercial Items and is not expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold. (iii) This solicitation incorporates the provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2020-06, effective June 5, 2020. (iv) The associated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code: 334516�Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing, Size Standard is 1,000 Employees. � (v) Chromatography Instrument (vi) The National Institute on Aging (NIA), Intramural Research Program (IRP), Laboratory of Molecular Biology and Immunology (LMBI), Immunoregulation Unit, studies the immune system in healthy aging and disease with the purpose of developing improved vaccines and immune therapies for the elderly population. This requires in-house designed production and isolation of proteins, process performed with the use of a Chromatography System. The purpose of this acquisition is to procure one (1) each Chromatography System designed for quick, reliable separation of proteins and peptides. Enables rapid scouting of protein purification conditions with automated gradients and buffer preparation. The intent of this action is to purchase a Chromatography System.�� The Chromatography System is brand-name or equal to the NGC Scout 10 Plus Chromatography System, manufactured by Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., 1000 Alfred Nobel Drive, Hercules, CA 94547-1811.� The NGC Scout 10 Plus Chromatography System include: (1) BIO 7880007, NGC Scout 10 Plus Chromatography System, 1-each; (2) BIO RAD 7884015, PC for ChromLab w Software and database, 1-each; (3) BIO RAD 7884027, Monitor NGC, 1-each; (4) BIO RAD 7410002, BioFrac Fraction Collector, 1-each; (5) Shipping; and (6) one-year warranty. Salient characteristics.� The NGC� Scout 10 Plus Chromatography System is designed for medium throughput labs. It has automated 10 ml/min pumps that provide accurate gradients for high-resolution separations for any application. This instrument may be used for creating automated buffer gradients with buffer blending for rapid scouting and purification of proteins, peptides, and nucleic acids. The NGC Scout 10 Plus System has a multi-wavelength detector with simultaneous four-wavelength monitoring for high-accuracy detection of proteins, peptides, and nucleic acids combined with conductivity measurements. The system also allows gradient separations at different pH values for rapid method development. Fractionated samples can be easily collected from analytical- to preparative-scale purifications using the NGC Fraction Collector and BioFrac� Fraction Collector. To learn more, watch the NGC System tour. The NGC Scout 10 Plus System includes: (1) NGC Two-Tier Base Frame; (2)� NGC F10 Pump Module for a flow rate of 0.001�10 ml/min at 3,650 psi (252 bar, 25.2 MPa); NGC Mixer Module, small (263 �l); (3) includes an extension mixer barrel (750 �l); NGC Multi-Wavelength Detector Module for simultaneous four-wavelength detection at 190�800 nm and salt gradient monitoring, with integrated conductivity monitor; includes tubing and fittings and one 5 mm flow cell; (4) NGC Sample Injection Valve Kit for automated application of small sample volumes from sample loops or large sample volumes using an optional sample pump; (5) NGC Buffer Blending Valve Module; (6) NGC pH Valve Module, includes 1 NGC pH Probe (Ag/AgCl); (7) integrated system touch screen; (8) ChromLab� Software for instrument control, data collection, and data analysis; (9) documentation CD containing manuals for use with NGC systems; (9) NGC Buffer Tray; and (10) NGC Communication Adaptor for connecting the BioFrac Fraction Collector. Features and Benefits of the NGC Scout 10 Plus Chromatography System.� A flexible, customizable chromatography system to suit both your application and workflow needs: (1) The Guided Fluidics selection tool (patent pending) coupled with the Module Discovery system enables a single-click application-based system setup through automated module function recognition; (2) The Tier Rotate� design allows optimal placement of valves and detectors to minimize the flow path; (3) Compact footprint � fits in a refrigerator; (4) Point-to-Plumb� lighting shows the step-by-step LED-guided plumbing of the system; (5) Unique ChromLab software provides powerful system control, automated methods, and analysis options. Applications and Uses of Medium-Pressure Chromatography Systems.� Preparative- to analytical-scale isolation, purification, and analysis of multiple types of molecules: (1) Recombinant protein purification and refolding; (2) Monoclonal antibody purification; (3) Removal of viruses, protein preparations; and (4) Analysis of plasma proteins for disease diagnosis. More Information: NGC System modular components allow your chromatography system to meet both laboratory space and application requirements. As these requirements change, systems may be easily reconfigured and seamlessly upgraded with increased functionality, such as higher flow rates, more sophisticated detection capabilities, pH monitoring, column scouting, and buffer blending. Use the configurator tool to build the best system to fit your needs.� A PC controller enables easy communication with the workstation and peripheral devices. The controller includes the Windows 7 operating system, application software, a keyboard, mouse, and high-resolution flat-panel monitor. (vii) Government's Anticipated Delivery: Within thirty (30) Calendar Days After Receipt of Order (ARO). Delivery Point: FOB Destination. Delivery Location: National Institute on Aging, 251 Bayview Boulevard, Baltimore, Maryland 21224. The successful offeror shall coordinate delivery arrangements with the customer prior to shipment. The Loading Dock hours are as follows: 8:00 am to 4:30 pm Eastern Time, Monday through Friday except on Federal holidays. All products delivered must contain a Packing Slip (with serial numbers as applicable). (viii) The provision at FAR clause 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors - Commercial Items, applies to this acquisition. (ix) The provision at FAR clause 52.212-2, Evaluation - Commercial Items, applies to this acquisition.
