LC/MS/MS system

The contract involves the acquisition of an LC/MS/MS system intended to support the production analysis of a newly transitioned analytical method focused on perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). This represents the addition of a second LC/MS/MS instrument dedicated to PFAS analysis, aimed at expanding the current capacity for this existing method. Ensuring highly consistent and traceable data across multiple platforms is a critical aspect of this contract, as it supports the continuity and reliability of data utilized in various research projects within the U.S. Geological Survey. The contract is forecasted under the solicitation number USGS0070328035 with the NAICS code 334516, associated with the Department of the Interior, specifically the U.S. Geological Survey. The equipment is to be deployed in Denver, and the point of contact for this procurement is Sean Jones, who also serves as the Small Business Specialist. The type of set-aside for this acquisition is yet to be determined. This procurement highlights the agency’s commitment to enhancing analytical capabilities in environmental research, particularly in monitoring and analyzing PFAS, which are emerging contaminants of significant concern.
