About this file
This Statement of Work (SOW) details the United States Naval Academy Chemistry Department's requirements for a new 400 MHz nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer. The department seeks a state-of-the-art NMR system to replace an aging 400 MHz JEOL NMR spectrometer, supporting both midshipmen academics and faculty research. Specific requirements include a broadband probe capable of detecting multiple nuclei, autotuning and autoshimming capabilities, variable temperature abilities (-80°C to 100°C), an autosampler with 24+ sample capacity, Windows 11 Enterprise-compatible computer and software, and compatibility with existing spare probes. The vendor must safely decommission the current system, fully install the new system, and provide user training. Additional requirements include providing all necessary gases and cryogens, a new uninterruptible power supply, and an option for an annual service contract with preventative maintenance and technical support.

Statement of Work
United States Naval Academy, Chemistry Department
Delivery Address: 572M Holloway Rd, Annapolis, MD 21402
Background. The United States Naval Academy (USNA) Chemistry Department requires instrumentation to support both the academic program of midshipmen and the scholarship/research projects of the faculty. These projects often involve midshipmen researchers in project-based learning.
In terms of the academic program, laboratory courses routinely require the use of a high-field (at least 400
MHz) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer. This instrument is required for the maintenance of a bachelor of science degree accredited by the American Chemical Society. In terms of faculty scholarship, several groups in the areas of organic, inorganic, organometallic, analytical, pharmaceutical, and ionic liquids chemistry require NMR spectroscopy, with the ability to detect nuclei of a variety of frequencies through the use of a broadband probe. This acquisition aims to replace our aging system, a
400 MHz JEOL NMR spectrometer, with a newer one as a part of lifecycle management. The entire
NMR system (magnet, probe, amplifiers, computer, etc.) may be referred to as “the system” or “NMR” henceforth.
Objectives. We aim to improve and maintain the use of the department’s NMR facility in order to support midshipmen academics and faculty/midshipmen research. This acquisition will ensure a safe and functional, state-of-the-art system is available to all who require it.
Requirements. Minimum requirements are as follows:
• 400 MHz NMR System.
• Broadband probe capable of detecting many nuclei including, but not limited to, 1H, 2H, 11B, 13C, 15N, 19F, 29Si, 31P, 51V.
• NMR system must be capable of autotuning, autolocking, and autoshimming.
• NMR system must have variable temperature abilities (~-80 °C - ~100 °) with all associated hardware provided (including but not limited to liquid nitrogen cooling dewar, etc).
• NMR system must be equipped with an autosampler capable of holding 24 or more samples, with enough spinners to fill every slot.
o Plastic spinners for routine use are acceptable, however spinners capable of being used in variable temperature experiments must be furnished as well.
• Computer and software to control the entire NMR system, including the autosampler o This must include a monitor to view the software.
o All hardware and software must run and be compatible with Windows 11 Enterprise.
o This must be sourced in a manner that it can be operated at USNA.
▪ No products, hardware or software, may originate in countries which will prohibit its use (e.g., China, Iran, etc.).
▪ The vendor should make clear the origin of all hardware and software for assessment before the contract is awarded (for the entire system).
o Legacy data from our current system must be accessible for viewing and extraction of experimental parameters, as users may need to recreate experiments exactly as they were previously performed.
• Our current system must be safely decommissioned and removed prior to installation of the new system. Vendor will decommission the present system, fully install the new system, and train users on how to operate and maintain the new system.
o Note: The probe that is presently in our system, backup/special application probes, the spinners, and the uninterruptible power supply will remain at USNA as the property of the US Navy.
• All gases, cryogens, and consumables needed for decommissioning of our current system and installation of the new system must be provided.
• A new uninterruptable power supply (UPS) suitable to protect the new system during power outages must be furnished by the vendor. The UPS provided should be the one recommended by the vendor for use under best-practices.
• Presently, we are in possession of several spare probes for use if the current or new system stops functioning, or for special applications. We will also be retaining the current “ROYAL” probe as well. Given the high cost of probes, the new system must be compatible with them. In addition to the “ROYAL” probe, they are:
o JEOL Model No. NM-03812RO5 o JEOL Model No. NM-40TH5AT/FG2 o JEOL Model No. NM-03050H5X o JEOL Model No. NM15J0164 o JEOL Model No. NM03811RO5S
• An option for an annual service contract must be available for purchase from the vendor for the life of the instrument. This should include annual preventative maintenance and phone/email/video call support as needed in a timely fashion
