The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Office of Water intends to award a sole-source contract to Waters Technology Corporation for a Xevo G3 Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatograph and Quadrupole Time of Flight (LC-QToF) instrument. This procurement, identified by solicitation number 68HERW26Q0073, is conducted under FAR 6.303-1(a)(1) using simplified acquisition procedures because Waters is determined to be the only responsible source capable of meeting the agency's technical requirements. The system is essential for the non-targeted and semi-quantitative analysis of emerging contaminants, such as PFAS and pesticides, and must be fully compatible with the EPA's existing atmospheric pressure gas chromatography (APGC) and chemical ionization (APCI) systems, as well as MassLynx, UNIFI, and Progenesis software to ensure method portability and operational seamlessness. The scope of work includes the delivery, installation, and verification of the LC-QToF system at the EPA facility in Cincinnati, Ohio, with a delivery schedule of 90 days after receipt of order. Key technical requirements include a mass resolution of at least 40,000 FWHM, mass accuracy of less than 1 ppm RMS, and the inclusion of a nitrogen generator and uninterruptible power supply. The contract requires a minimum trade-in value of 50,000 dollars for a legacy Waters Xevo G2 system and a one-year warranty on parts and labor. The anticipated award date is September 30, 2026, and the procurement falls under NAICS code 334516 and PSC 6630. Interested parties were invited to submit capability statements by August 15, 2026, for government consideration.

NOTICE OF INTENT This is a notice of intent to award a sole-source contract using simplified acquisition procedures and is not a request for competitive quotes. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Office of Water (OW)/ Office of Groundwater & Drinking Water (OGWDW) intends to award a sole source contract for a Xevo G3 Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatograph and Quadrupole Time of Flight instrument (referred to as LC-QToF) from Waters Technology Corporation that include necessary software and components to support specifications in accordance with the attached statement of work. In accordance with FAR 6.303-1(a)(1), there is the only responsible source available that can satisfy agency requirements. Specifically, this instrumentation must be capable of interfacing with the program laboratory’s existing atmospheric pressure gas chromatography (APGC) system to analyze for more volatile and semi-volatile compounds, as well as interfacing with existing atmospheric pressure chemical ionization source (APCI) that are used with the liquid chromatography system. Since this instrument will be operating in a multi-instrument lab, ionization sources, chromatograph parts, consumables and software must be fully compatible with current instrumentation to ensure seamless operation with method portability and reduce the number of parts and consumables needed to operate the lab. This equipment must also be capable of producing data in a format that would be fully compatible with existing workflows and software, that include MassLynx, UNIFI, and Progenesis. It is anticipated that the EPA will award this action no later than September 30, 2026. The applicable NAICS Code is 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) PSC is 6630 (Chemical Analysis Instruments). This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations. Any party who believes they can perform this requirement should submit a capability statement for government’s consideration.
