Sample Introduction and Autosampler Kit Supply

The contract solicits the supply of a specialized geological sample introduction kit constructed from hydrofluoric acid resistant materials, designed for use in high-throughput inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry applications. This kit will enable safe and efficient handling of samples containing highly corrosive substances, ensuring durability and analytical accuracy. Alongside the introduction kit, a dual-rinse autosampler is required to automate sample loading with minimal cross-contamination, supporting increased operational efficiency and precision in repetitive analytical workflows. Both components must meet stringent performance standards for compatibility with ICP-MS instrumentation and must withstand prolonged exposure to aggressive chemical environments without degradation. This subcontract is issued by the National Energy Technology Laboratory under the Department of Energy and falls under the NAICS code 339112, indicating classification within the other scientific and manufacturing industries. The solicitation was posted on July 28, 2026, with a firm response deadline of August 11, 2026, at 8:30 PM Eastern Time. While no specific place of performance or point of contact is detailed, the work will likely involve delivery and integration within DOE-operated laboratories or facilities conducting geological analytical research. The contract aims to upgrade critical analytical infrastructure by enabling reliable, high-volume sample processing under chemically extreme conditions.
