Supply of High-Performance Gas Chromatography / Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer (GC/MS-MS) System

The contract seeks the procurement and delivery of a fully configured Agilent 8890 GC/7000E GC Triple Quad mass spectrometer system designed for ultra-trace analysis of organic compounds in meteoritic samples. The system must meet stringent performance criteria, including an instrumental detection limit of 4 femtograms for target analytes, ensuring exceptional sensitivity required for planetary science and astrobiology research. All components must be integrated and validated to guarantee seamless hardware and software interoperability, enabling efficient data acquisition, processing, and analysis without compatibility issues. The instrument is intended for high-precision applications where contamination control and analytical reproducibility are critical to scientific integrity. This subcontract is issued by the NASA Shared Services Center on behalf of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration with a response deadline of July 28, 2026. The North American Industry Classification System code 334516 indicates this is for laboratory analytical instrument manufacturing. The place of performance and point of contact details are not specified, but the equipment must be delivered and commissioned to support NASA’s mission-critical analyses of extraterrestrial materials. The solicitation is open for bids through the SAM.gov portal, with no set-aside restrictions indicated, allowing qualified suppliers from any entity type to respond.
