The contract involves an upgrade to an Agilent headspace sampler used in gas chromatography/mass spectrometry systems to support ethanol and metabolite analysis in biological samples for the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism intramural research program. The current system processes up to 80 samples in a single run over approximately 20 hours, during which all samples remain at room temperature, potentially introducing analytical bias between early and late samples. The upgrade aims to mitigate this issue by improving sample integrity preservation during extended unattended runs while maintaining compatibility with existing GC/MS workflows. The place of performance is Bethesda, Maryland, where the upgraded equipment will be deployed and utilized. The solicitation number is 75N98026Q00685, issued as a presolicitation on June 23, 2026, with responses due by July 3, 2026. The procuring agency is the National Institutes of Health under the Department of Health and Human Services, and the NAICS code is 811210 for laboratory services. Agilent Technologies is the likely respondent, identified by its CAGE code 1NX00 and UEI RM22FF5AGCUA, and is registered as a for-profit corporate manufacturer with no socioeconomic designation specified. Contact for the acquisition is Vishnuvajjala Hanumanth Rao at NIH, with accounts receivable handled by Danni Meisinger at Agilent in Wilmington, Delaware. No funding estimates, pricing details, payment methods, evaluation criteria, inspection requirements, packaging specifications, or special contractual clauses such as security clearances or subcontracting rules are provided in the available documentation. The contract is not set aside for any small business category, and no award methodology is stated.

Full Description

Show more

he headspace sampler is a critical component of the gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) system, which is utilized for determining ethanol and its metabolites in biological samples. This process is integral to ongoing projects within the NIAAA intramural research program focusing on ethanol metabolism. The sampler functions by hosting samples in its trays and systematically introducing them into the GC/MS instrument. The GC/MS then acquires data for each sample according to a pre-scheduled sequence, processing samples one after another. 


Typically, a single sequence run involves 80 samples, requiring approximately 20 hours to complete. During this period, all 80 samples remain in the trays of the headspace sampler at room temperature. This prolonged exposure at room temperature can potentially introduce bias, particularly between samples run at the beginning and those processed at the end of the sequence.
