All information submitted in response to this announcement is voluntary, and the Government will not pay for information requested nor will it compensate any respondent for any cost incurred in developing information provided to the Government. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Agricultural Research Service (ARS) is searching for firms who can provide a service contract labeled �as follows: �Statement of Work -���Title: Metabolic Services Colorado State - Metabolomics Analysis As in past analyses, the Facility will perform the following: Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectroscopy. Inject 810 aqueous samples into a Waters Acquity UPLC CSH Phenyl Hexyl column (1.7 ?M, 1.0 x 100 mm) using a gradient from solvent A (2mM ammonium hydroxide, 0.1% formic acid) to solvent B (Acetonitrile, 0.1% formic acid) for separation. Gas Chromatography Mass Spec. 40 ?L aliquot of the aqueous phase re-suspension was dried under nitrogen, re-suspended in 50 ?L of pyridine containing 25 mg/mL of methoxyamine hydrochloride. Detect metabolites using a Trace 1310 GC coupled to a Thermo ISQ mass spectrometer (Thermo Scientific). Separate using a 30 m TG-5MS column (Thermo Scientific, 0.25 mm i.d., 0.25 ?m film thickness) with a 1.2 mL/min helium gas flow rate. Analyses and annotations. Define molecular features by retention time and mass-charge. Use the matchedFilter algorithm for GC-MS data, and the centWave algorithm for LC-MS data. Use RAMClustR to group features. Annotate GC-MS features by searching the GOLM metabolome database using the RAMSearch program. Annotate LC-MS features using RAMSearch and searches against the MassBank database using MSFinder.
