MASS SPECTROMETER FOR TGA2-LEVITAN

The U.S. Geological Survey is soliciting a firm-fixed-price contract for the procurement of one mass spectrometer to be integrated with a government-owned Discovery TGA 5500 thermogravimetric analyzer. The system will be used to measure the chemical composition of gases evolved from geologic samples. The requirement includes the spectrometer, a compatible interface kit with a heated connection of at least 200 degrees Celsius, Windows-compatible control and analysis software, and comprehensive services including delivery, installation, TGA coupling, calibration with a traceable standard, and basic operational training. The equipment must be new, current-production hardware featuring quadrupole operation, a 1-300 amu mass range, and detection sensitivity of less than 100 ppb. This is a small business set-aside opportunity using Lowest-Priced Technically Acceptable evaluation procedures. To be considered acceptable, quotes must be submitted by an OEM or authorized distributor and include a minimum one-year warranty covering parts, labor, and travel. An optional 12-month OEM-backed maintenance and support plan is also requested. Delivery and installation are required within 30 days after receipt of order, with the final destination being the USGS facility in Reston, Virginia. Payment will be processed electronically through the Invoice Processing Platform.
