MEO Vantage Spectrometer Windows Upgrades

The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner Office issued an informal, sealed procurement to replace the operating system on its Vantage TSQ LCMS instrument—a ThermoFisher Scientific system used in the county’s toxicology laboratory.

The award status is marked as “Awarded,” though the winning vendor’s identity is not disclosed in the provided data. • Scope: Upgrade the operating system from Windows 7 to Windows 10 on a single Vantage TSQ LCMS instrument. • Procurement type: Informal, sealed, with no public Q&A or bid bond, indicating a streamlined acquisition process. • Timeline: Posting 7/14/2021, closing 7/16/2021; award date not specified. • Agency contact: Mark Bandza, Purchasing Analyst (email: [email protected]).
