This solicitation seeks the acquisition of two high‑performance liquid chromatography instruments equipped with Triple‑Quadrupole (QQQ) mass spectrometers featuring ion‑funnel technology for the United States Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine’s Occupational & Environmental Health Laboratory. The requirement is driven by the need to replace a single point of failure, increase sample throughput for isocyanate monitoring, and add capability for PFAS‑PFOA analysis. The government has justified a sole‑source award to Agilent Technologies, Inc. because the Agilent 6495 system and its proprietary MassHunter software are the only configuration that satisfies the AIHA‑accredited method and ISO 17734 compliance. The contract will include hardware, software, installation, training, and ongoing support.
• Quantity: Two complete LC‑QQQMS instrument packages (Agilent 6495 baseline).
• Scope: Delivery, installation, software licensing (MassHunter), PFC‑free PFAS conversion kit, accessories, training, and sustainment.
• Procurement: Sole‑source, Firm‑Fixed‑Price, no set‑aside restrictions, awarded to Agilent Technologies, Inc.
