6640--Triple Quadrupole LC MS System

Other / Unclassified

This document is a "Request for Limited Sources Justification" for a proposed acquisition of a Triple Quadrupole Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC/MS) System. It outlines the rationale for a limited source procurement, citing the need for a specific system to maintain operational efficiency and compatibility with existing laboratory infrastructure.

• Procurement Type: This is a justification for a limited source procurement, not a solicitation for competitive bids.
• Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 22, supporting VISN 22 VA Health Care System, Cooperative Studies Program, Clinical Research Pharmacy Coordinating Center.
• Requirement: One (1) Triple Quadrupole LC/MS System for high-throughput analytical testing, specifically for drug abuse testing in clinical trials and core laboratory settings.
• Sole Source Rationale: The justification cites FAR 8.405-6, primarily focusing on the unique qualifications of Agilent Technologies and the need for compatibility with existing Agilent HPLC systems, software (MassHunter), and validated analytical methods. Introducing a different vendor would require significant revalidation, impacting data continuity and study timelines.
• Contracting Vehicle: The acquisition is intended to be made via the Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) under Contract GS-07F-0564X with Agilent Technologies, Inc.
• Market Research: Limited market research was conducted, including searches on SBA's Small Business Search and SAM.gov. While some potential distributors were identified, their ability to provide the specific system with required characteristics was undetermined. Agilent Technologies' FSS contract is active until November 25, 2026.
• Estimated Value: The estimated value of the proposed action is redacted.
• Next Steps: The document serves as a justification for limiting the source of this acquisition. Further actions would typically involve the issuance of an order against the identified FSS contract.
