Combined Sources Sought Notice and Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source Contract for a Two-Dimensional Liquid Chromatography (LC) Instrument
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is conducting market research to identify alternative sources for a new Two-Dimensional Liquid Chromatography (LC) Instrument, which must be compatible with its existing Thermo Fisher Orbitrap Fusion LUMOS mass spectrometer. The system must meet detailed technical specifications, including two binary pumps, a dual split sampler, a column compartment, a UV-Vis detector, an integral fraction collector, and a PC with Chromeleon software. NIST is considering a sole source award to Thermo Electron North America LLC but will pursue a competitive acquisition if capable alternative sources are identified. No budget amount or performance location is specified in the notice. Interested parties should respond with company details, feedback on requirements, and product information to assist NIST’s market research.
