STATEMENT OF WORK

1) BACKGROUND INFORMATION

The RTB Protein Chemistry Section (PCS) enables intramural NIAID investigators to use state-of-the-art applications in mass spectrometry, bioinformatics, chromatographic purification and analysis, protein sequencing and spectrophotometric analysis of peptides, proteins and small molecules in their research programs. These analytical activities provide proteomic profiles, protein structural information including post-translational modifications, quality control and quantitative assay development. In addition, our staff is available for advice and consultations. Extensive support is available for expert analysis in analytical chemistry and biochemistry in the context of the biomedical research conducted at the institute.

The RTB PCS currently provides protein separation services on a daily basis for all NIAID investigators This instrument is in use on a daily basis and if it malfunctioned due to lack of maintenance, mechanical or electronic failure the ability of the investigators in the DIR to conduct their research would be severely handicapped.

2) PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES OF THE ACQUISITION

The purpose of this acquisition is to provide a maintenance agreement for equipment in order to maintain it in optimal operating condition.
