Elemental Analyzer with Autosampler

The U.S. Geological Survey, Geology, Energy and Minerals Stable Isotope Lab (GEMSIL), located in Reston, VA, has a requirement to purchase a lab instrument system that includes an elemental analyzer with autosampler for the conversion of solid materials containing carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur for the isotopic measurement of those elements. Such solid samples are converted to gaseous form using the elemental analyzer and the autosampler provides a way to load and deliver solid samples to the elemental analyzer.

The produced gas is then delivered to the Delta V Plus Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometer (IRMS) that is in use in the GEMSIL. Refer to the Specifications, B.1. The delivery date is 11/15/2024. There are no option periods. This will be a firm fixed-price contract, awarded to the lowest price technically acceptable. Quote submissions are due on or before 9/04/2024. The anticipated award date is 9/16/2024. Vendors must be registered at https://www.sam.gov/ to be awarded the contract. All responsible sources may submit a quotation which shall be considered by the agency. Responses must be emailed to Susan Ruggles, sruggles@usgs.gov.
