USAFSAM/OEA Liquid Chromatography - Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometry Instrument

The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL/RMZB) at Wright‑Patterson AFB is issuing a sole‑source procurement for two liquid chromatography‑tandem mass spectrometry (LC‑QQQ‑MS) instruments. The instruments must be Agilent 6495 systems with proprietary MassHunter software to support the USAFSAM/OEA Industrial Hygiene Laboratory’s AIHA‑accredited method for airborne isocyanate analysis and future PFAS‑PFOA testing. Because the software is integral to the validated method, no other vendor can satisfy the requirement, leading to a single‑source award to Agilent Technologies, Inc. Interested parties may submit a capability statement, quotation, or an exception via email by the stated deadline. • Quantity: 2 LC‑QQQ‑MS instruments (Agilent 6495) • Required software: MassHunter (proprietary to Agilent) • Intended use: Occupational health monitoring of Airmen – isocyanate analysis, with future PFAS‑PFOA capability • Procurement type: Sole‑source, firm‑fixed‑price contract • Submission deadline: “Tuesday September 2026 at 2:00 pm ET” (exact calendar date not specified) • Contact: Jason Sav, [email protected] • NAICS: 334516 – Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing • Estimated contract value: <$100 M (exact amount not disclosed)
