This request for information is for planning purposes only. This notice does not constitute a request for proposal (rfp) and is not to be construed as a commitment by the u.s. Government for any purpose other than market research. Further, the government is not at this time seeking proposals and will not accept unsolicited proposals. The government is in no way liable to pay for or reimburse any companies or entities that respond to this announcement. No contract shall be awarded from this market research.
The materials engineering division's analytical laboratory, a part of the naval air warfare center - aircraft division (nawc-ad, patuxent river, md), supports navy in-service engineering, acquisition, and science & technology programs in the characterization, optimization and development of aerospace materials. Many investigations involve the rapid identification of unknown non-volatile contaminants relevant to navy aircraft. Materials typically analyzed include polymers, paints, coatings, rubbers, adhesives, sealants, elastomers, fibers, composites, and resins. Therefore, there is a critical need for procurement of a pyrolysis-gas chromatograph tandem mass spectrometer (py-gc-ms/ms).
As the py-gc-ms/ms will support unpredictable, urgent, and high-priority projects throughout nawc-ad, a highly versatile, user-friendly, and multi-functional system is required. The system shall support thermal desorption and evolved gas analyses, single/double-shot pyrolysis experiments, heart-cut analyses, conventional headspace techniques, ultraviolet (uv)-based experiments, and standard liquid auto-sampling testing.
This inquiry shall serve as an opportunity for contractors to provide a turnkey py-gc-ms/ms (and its corresponding supporting hardware / software) that is in accordance with the requirements and specifications provided herein. The naics code for this procurement is 334516 - analytical lab instruments manufacturing. The p...
