About this file
This document is an Attachment A: Salient Characteristics for a Nitrogen Generator solicitation (Solicitation Number 20341425Q00046) issued by the Alcohol and Tobacco Trade and Tax Bureau (TTB) Scientific Services Division. The procurement seeks a comprehensive Nitrogen Gas Generator System to replace aging laboratory equipment, with specific requirements including a nitrogen generator capable of 390 liters per minute flow, 99.5% purity, and 135 psi maximum outlet pressure. The system must support multiple scientific instruments including a Sciex QTrap 5500+ triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometer, two Waters QDa single quadrupole mass spectrometers, and a Waters ACQUITY UPLC evaporative light scattering detector.
The solicitation details precise specifications for the nitrogen generator, air compressor, and associated components, emphasizing compact footprint dimensions, oil-free design, and user-maintainable features. Key requirements include a nitrogen generator with a 24"(W) x 38"(D) footprint, an oil-free scroll design air compressor with a 30"(W) x 42"(D) footprint, a refrigerant air dryer, and a minimum 60-gallon receiver tank. Additional mandatory specifications include 24-hour technical support, local (MD) authorized technical support, installation and calibration specific to TTB laboratory applications, and the ability for end-users to perform preventative maintenance tasks. This is a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 334516, with the government intending to make a single, all-inclusive firm-fixed price award.

Nitrogen Generator Attachment A: Salient Characteristics 20341425Q00046
The TTB Scien fic Services Division currently owns a Nitrogen Gas Generator System that is old and becoming progressively more difficult to maintain due to aging components and decreasing availability of maintenance consumables. The laboratory is looking to replace this system with a model that has sufficient capacity and purity for the opera on of the following mass spectrometers and detectors:
• Sciex QTrap 5500+ triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometer
• Two Waters QDa single quadrupole mass spectrometers
• Waters ACQUITY UPLC evapora ve light sca ering detector (ELSD)
The new Nitrogen Gas Generator System must be of sufficient capacity to address current and future needs.
Specifically, the system must be able to provide nitrogen for mul ple scien fic instruments with nitrogen, volume, pressure, and purity requirements similar to the mass spectrometers described above. Addi onally, system expansion must be achievable without the purchase of addi onal nitrogen gas generator units. A single nitrogen gas generator with significant adaptability to meet emerging needs will keep cost of ownership low by restric ng preventa ve maintenance and repair needs to a single device.
Regarding serviceability, the end-user must be able to perform preventa ve maintenance tasks such as changing filters and other consumables. This requirement is restricted to the nitrogen generator itself and does not include the air compressor, which must have specialized local customer support to address its preventa ve maintenance and repair needs without incurring high travel costs for service.
The Nitrogen Gas Generator System must include the following components:
Nitrogen Gas Generator with a footprint no larger than 24"(W) X 38"(D)
Oil-free air compressor with a footprint no larger than 30"(W) X 42"(D)
Refrigerant Air Dryer
Minimum 60 Gallon Receiver Tank with auto drain
The Nitrogen Gas Generator must meet the following specifica ons:
Flows to 390 liters per minute (LPM)
Must be capable of delivering purity to 99.5%
Must have a maximum outlet pressure of 135 psi
Par culate filtra on < 0.01 micron
Regulates air consump on to nitrogen demand
Nitrogen expansion capabili es
Dry air outlet to 210 LPM
Self-diagnos cs
No need for carbon module replacements
24-hour tech support
Training and calibra on specific to applica on included
Installa on and adjustment to serve applica ons in the TTB Laboratory
Local (MD) authorized technical support
Preventa ve maintenance tasks, such as changing filters and other consumables, can be performed by the end user
Nitrogen Generator Attachment A: Salient Characteristics 20341425Q00046
The Air Compressor must meet the following specifica ons:
Oil-free, scroll design
Compressor must be capable of mee ng or exceeding compressed air requirement of 45.6 cubic feet per minute (CFM) at 100 pounds per square inch gauge (PSIG)
Opera onal noise level in the 45 to 55 decibel range (dBA)
Installation and adjustment to serve applications in the TTB Laboratory
Local (MD) authorized technical support
