Description
The University of Washington’s Department of Laboratory Medicine & Pathology is seeking market‑research input on clinical LC‑MS/MS platforms to replace and expand its existing mass‑spectrometry fleet. Vendors are asked to provide high‑level specifications, integration capabilities, service models, and indicative five‑year pricing for 2–6 new instruments, including software, maintenance, installation, and training. Responses will help shape a future solicitation and are not binding.
• Provide detailed instrument configurations (triple‑quadrupole LC‑MS/MS) and software features for high‑throughput assays (immunosuppressants, testosterone, metanephrines, vitamin D).
• Describe integration with the Sunquest LIS and Data Innovations middleware, as well as on‑site service, remote diagnostics, and training plans.
• Submit indicative total cost of ownership (hardware, service, UPS, computers, installation, training) for a five‑year period, showing list price and any academic/government discounts.
