Waters Corp Instrument Accreditation Services

The Colorado Bureau of Investigation- Forensic Services is seeking to procure a Waters LC/MS/MS instrument to replace an existing instrument in the Pueblo laboratory. The instrument is required for toxicology services and must be compatible with the current LC/MS/MS systems. The procurement is justified as a sole source because the Waters instrument has been validated for specific toxicology drug analysis and the agency has invested in training and service contracts with Waters. • The instrument must be compatible with the current LC/MS/MS systems. • The procurement is for a one-time purchase. • The estimated cost of the instrument is $298,056.14. • The agency has previously purchased instruments and service contracts from Waters. • The instrument is an industry standard in Forensics Toxicology and has sustained court challenges.
