About this file
This document is an amendment to a federal solicitation providing questions and answers regarding RFQ 1333ND23QNB640526. The amendment specifies that the National Institute of Standards and Technology is seeking one gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer instrument to analyze samples from a thermogravimetric analyzer, but is not providing the required heated transfer line between the instruments. The amendment answers questions clarifying that the TGA operates between 1-5 bar with nitrogen or argon/helium carrier gas through a KF 16 fitting, and that vendors can leave the post-warranty service plan section blank in their response. The submission deadline of August 30, 2023 at 4:00PM EST is unchanged.

AMENDMENT 001 RFQ 1333ND23QNB640526
Brief Description-AMENDMENT 0001 NIST 1333ND23QNB640526
REQUIREMENTS: One (1) Gas Chromatograph/Mass Spectrometer (GC/MS) Instruments
The following Amendment 0001 is issued to publish Questions submitted by Vendors and the NIST responses.
Questions:
QUESTION 1: Is NIST providing the transfer line from the TGA to the GCMS?
ANSWER 1: NO. NIST is not providing the transfer line. NIST needs a transfer line from the TGA to the GCMS (As specified in Section III. No.4)
QUESTION 2: If not do you require a heated transfer line?
ANSWER 2: Yes, it should be heated. (As specified in Section III. No.4)
QUESTION 3: What is the pressure from the outgas port of the TGA instrument?
ANSWER 3: The normal operating pressure is between 1 and 3 bar (up to 5 bar is permissible but not typical).
The pressure is based on gas flow rate which is typically between 20 and 50 ml/min and is regulated using mass flow controllers. Nitrogen and/or Argon/Helium will be used as a carrier gas.
QUESTION 4: What is the connection type on your TGA out gas port?
ANSWER 4: There is a KF 16 fitting at the furnace outlet that is suitable for attaching inlet lines for a GC/MS system.
QUESTION 5: Reviewing the RFQ we do not offer a service plan beyond the warranty. How do we respond to line item 5? Do I leave it blank?
ANSWER 5: Yes.
The submission deadline for quotes is UNCHANGED.
***The due date and time for receipt of quotations continues to be AUGUST 30, 2023, no later than 4:00PM EST.
Only information received on or before the due date and time for receipt of quotations will be considered for award. Any quotation, or part thereof received after the due date and time for receipt of quotations, will be deemed late and not considered for award.
This ends Amendment 001 for NIST RFQ 1333ND23QNB640526.
