Description
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is seeking information from potential vendors capable of providing advanced mass spectrometry systems, including LC-MS/MS systems, high-resolution mass spectrometry systems, and triple quadrupole ICP-MS systems. The FDA operates multiple regulatory and forensic laboratories that require advanced analytical instrumentation to support its public health mission. The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to obtain technical and business information from potential vendors to assess market capability, determine vendor interest, and inform future acquisition planning.
• The FDA is seeking information on vendors' experience providing advanced mass spectrometry systems to federal or regulated laboratories.
• Vendors should provide information on their technical capabilities, including instrument specifications and performance requirements.
• The FDA is also seeking information on vendors' pricing structures, service models, and experience supporting regulatory laboratories.
• The RFI includes a statement of work that outlines the requirements for the purchase of a high-resolution quadrupole ion trap mass spectrometer with an ultra-high performance liquid chromatography system and accessories.
• The FDA is seeking responses from vendors that can provide a turn-key solution, including installation, training, and maintenance of the equipment.
