Description

This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested, and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation number is 12405B23Q0109 and is issued as a request for quotation (RFQ). The NAICS code is 334516 � Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing. This solicitation document incorporates those provision and clauses in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2022-06.� Any quotes not meeting the minimum specifications will not be considered.� UV/VIS Spectrophotometer for dosimeter The USDA, ARS, Poultry Production and Product Safety Research Unit needs a dosimeter to conduct research studies on measuring the actual dose delivered on the material by the electron beam. Especially for vaccine preparation, we would use this dosimeter to determine the dose used for the inactivation of Salmonella, Campylobacter, and other pathogens. The UV/VIS Spectrophotometer should have the potential to measure the dosimeters used with low energy electron beam (200 kV). It should measure the optical absorbance of dosimeters using a single wavelength in the UV/VIS spectrum. The software should be intuitive and easy to use. It should be able to hold dosimeters for different types of radiochromic film. It should have a barcode scanner for scanning B3 dosimeter IDs, and a laser micrometer for measuring the thickness of perspex dosimeters.
