USAFSAM/OEA Liquid Chromatography - Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometry Instrument

Won by Agilent Technologies, Inc.$1.5MSingle Award

Awarded vendors

  • Agilent Technologies, Inc.

Description

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.

Contract value

$1,500,000

No explicit contract value is disclosed. A comparable Agilent 6495 Triple‑Quadrupole LC‑MS system typically ranges from $250,000 to $350,000 per unit, depending on configuration and accessories. Adding a UHPLC system, ion‑funnel, PFC‑free PFAS kit, installation, training, and a multi‑year support agreement can increase each package to roughly $500,000–$600,000. For two instruments, a reasonable ball‑park estimate is between $1.0 M and $1.2 M. Considering potential freight, spares, and contingency, an estimate of $1.5 M is a conservative figure for budgeting purposes.
