- Description
- This is a Sources Sought Notice, and is for informational/market research purposes only. Please note: This is not a request for proposals, quotations or bids. Responses to this sources sought announcement will be used by the Government to make appropriate acquisition decisions. No solicitation is currently available. The Government will not pay for any material provided in response to this market survey nor return the data provided. This notice is for informational purposes only and is not a request to be placed on a solicitation mailing list nor is it a Request for Proposal (RFP) or an announcement of a solicitation. The Joint Product Manager, Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosive Analytics and Response Systems (JPdM CBRNE A&RS), Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD is conducting a market research to identify candidate portable field GC/MS systems. Specifically, the Government is attempting to identify portable GC/MS systems that will work within environmental conditions.� The applicable NAICS codes for this RFI are 334516, 541714 and 541715.� Rapid detection and identification of various chemical hazards to include, but not limited to, Chemical Warfare Agents (CWAs) and Toxic Industrial Chemicals (TIC/TIMs) Capable of analyzing and detecting targets combined in a complex environmental sample (solid, liquid, vapor, and aerosol) Capable of sensitive, specific identification Capable of quantifying agent/compound present Incorporates Auto Calibration Has Windows 10 Compatibility (Windows 10 Long Term Servicing Channel (LTSC) is preferred) Has File Interoperability and Data Sharing capability Has spectral library Interoperability capability Uses the NIST/EPA/NIH Mass Spectral Library of electron ionization spectra Has the capability to use customizable spectral libraries Capable of performing headspace analysis, and can utilize Depot Area Air Monitoring Systems (DAAMS) tubes and Solid Phase Micro-extraction (SPME) fibers Person portable (approximately 40 pounds for the primary unit) Must have the ability to operate in an austere environment under various temperatures and humidity levels Supportable for at least 7 years � � Responses to this RFI should address the following: Describe the product's technical capability. What are the range of environmental conditions the technology can be used in? How is the product supported and maintained? � Describe the company's capabilities and identify the technology/system�s technology readiness level (TRL) and manufacturing readiness level (MRL).� How is the company structured to support the product if integrated into a program in the near and long term? � What is the maturity of the instrument being recommended?� Is it early development, late development?� Is it in production?� Has it been fielded to any of the other Government agencies (please identify them)?� Is the instrument or system in use within the private sector? � What consumables and ancillary equipment are required to support this instrument?� What quantity of consumables are required per analysis?� Consumables and ancillary equipment must be fully identified, even if manufactured by vendors other than themselves. � Describe the product's ability to interface with other equipment and/or sampling devices. What design considerations will be necessary to integrate the product into a system of systems? � What is the lead time for the product? What is the company�s production capabilities/limitations? � What is the instrument�s �level of sensitivity� to identify/detect the targets chemicals? � How long will the product be available for purchase? � How long will this product be supported? � Describe the Operator interface (i.e., software, ease of use, data capture, interpretation, and export). � Describe the typical operation of system (to include sample preparation). All firms responding to this Sources Sought Notice are advised that their response to this notice is not a request to be considered for a contract award. All sources that are able to provide technologies meeting criteria in this announcement should submit their interest to Joint Product Manager CBRNE Analytics and Response Systems. Submissions are due no later than 5:00pm, 26 February 2021, Eastern Standard Time.
