The Food and Drug Administration awarded a delivery order valued at $716,144.90 to Government Scientific Source Inc., a small business based in Reston, Virginia, for a Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-of-Flight (MALDI TOF/TOF) mass spectrometer system with integrated nanoLC-MALDI spotter capability. The award, issued on July 1, 2014, with an ultimate completion date of July 31, 2015, encompasses hardware and software procurement, instrument qualification and installation, staff familiarization and training, one year of standard manufacturer warranty, and service maintenance options for four additional years. The contract is established under the General Services Administration's Scientific Equipment and Services Multiple Award Schedule (FSS-66) and is structured as a firm fixed-price delivery order with no set-aside designation.

The MALDI TOF/TOF mass spectrometer represents a critical analytical instrument for FDA laboratory operations, enabling high-resolution protein and peptide analysis essential for pharmaceutical testing, food safety analysis, and regulatory compliance activities. The integrated nanoLC-MALDI spotter system enhances analytical capabilities by automating sample preparation and ionization processes. Government Scientific Source Inc., a GSA MAS contractor since 2002 with extensive experience supplying specialized scientific equipment to federal agencies including the National Institutes of Health, Department of Veterans Affairs, and Environmental Protection Agency, was selected to deliver this sophisticated instrumentation to FDA's Herndon, Virginia facility. The comprehensive service package, including multi-year maintenance options, ensures sustained instrument performance and regulatory compliance throughout the contract period.
