AI Contract Overview

The National Institute of Standards and Technology is soliciting firm-fixed price quotations for the procurement, installation, and training of one Gas Chromatograph equipped with a Thermal Conductivity Detector and a Flame Ionization Detector with Methanizer. This requirement is a 100 percent small business set-aside under NAICS 334516, with award based on the lowest price, technically acceptable criteria. The system will support the Gas Sensing Metrology Group in developing Standard Reference Materials and NIST Traceable Reference Materials, specifically analyzing high pressure gas mixtures in nitrogen or air balance gases. Technical requirements include a 12 position stream select valve, a 4 port methanizer bypass valve heated to 200 degrees Celsius, and the ability for detectors to operate simultaneously and in parallel. Performance standards require response repeatability of 0.2 percent relative area counts or less for methane, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide analyses. The contractor must provide the instrument and an operations manual within 90 days of award, with installation and personnel training occurring within 10 days of receipt and installation respectively. A critical requirement is the submission and NIST acceptance of a pre-shipment analytical test report before the instrument can be shipped from the contractor's facility to Gaithersburg, Maryland. Technical evaluations will require a detailed instrument schematic, documentation of specifications, and a capability statement. The procurement incorporates standard FAR clauses, including Buy American and SAM registration requirements, and provides a price evaluation preference for HUBZone small business concerns.

Full Description

***Amendment 0001****

Amendment 0001 provides resposnes to questions received in response to the solicitation.

Q.1. I am reviewing Notice ID 1333ND26QNB640601 and would appreciate some clarification regarding the analytical requirements. Would you be able to share the analytes of interest, the required detection limits, and the expected concentration ranges for the system?

A.1. This analyzer will be used for the analysis of binary gas mixtures in nitrogen or air balance gases. The analyses performed will include a wide range of gaseous standard reference materials including: 1 ppm methane in air and 250 ppm carbon monoxide in nitrogen, both analyzed using the flame ionization detector with methanation, and 0.5 % carbon dioxide in nitrogen analyzed using the thermal conductivity detector. This analyzer will also be used for analyses of ambient level CO in air mixtures, ranging from (40 – 200) ppb.

Q.2. What types of samples will be tested?

A.2. This analyzer will be used for analyses of high pressure gas mixtures in nitrogen or air balance gases.

Q.3. What specific substances or compounds need to be detected or analyzed in these samples?

If available, please also share any specific testing standards or requirements. With this information, we can better understand your application and recommend a suitable instrument configuration and quotation accordingly.

A.3. As stated above, this analyzer will be used for the analysis of high pressure gas mixtures delivered at or below 25 psig. The analyses performed will include a wide range of gaseous standard reference materials including: 1 ppm methane in air and 250 ppm carbon monoxide in nitrogen, both analyzed using the flame ionization detector with methanation, and 0.5 % carbon dioxide in nitrogen analyzed using the thermal conductivity detector.

For improved precision, temperature ramping and stable detector response are required to achieve baseline resolution between components in air balance gas. In all cases the repeatability should be at or below 0.2 % relative area counts.

Q.4. Regarding your software requirements, you cite Visual Basic Version 6.0. Would that software be able to generate an XML file to communicate with our software (CompassCDS)?

A.4. The visual basic software was developed to support communication between the GC software and a 12-port dead-end VICI sampling valve. The software can retrieve data from a txt file generated by the GC software and output the data to excel.

There is not an extension to the solicitation as a result of this amendment.

The question period for this soliciation will close today, September 17,2026, at 4:00 PM ET.
