The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health (NIOSH), Spokane Mining Research Division (SMRD), hereby announces its intent to award and issue a sole source order/contract, firm-fixed price purchase order to Bruker
AXS LLC, 5464 East Cheryl Parkway, Madison, WI, 53711-5373.
TOPAS software is essential for accurate quantification of multiphase mineral powders because it implements robust Rietveld refinement and advanced profile-fitting algorithms that model both the crystallographic and instrumental contributions to measured diffraction patterns, enabling deconvolution of overlapping peaks that are common in complex mineral assemblages. The contractor will provide the Spokane Mining Research Division (SMRD) with everything that is needed to install and use DIFFRAC.TOPAS. Specifically obtaining instrument parameters by way of the fundamental parameters approach and a satisfactory Rietveld refinement will be possible using the software for the end user at SMRD. The contractor will provide SMRD with the executable file, all required associated files, and clear instructions to install and use
DIFFRAC.TOPAS, will provide the SMRD with XRD Application Training, and ensure functionality of software.
This contract action is for a service which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.103-1(b) and 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) or 41 U.S.C.
