About this file
This document provides specifications for a 96-well Real-Time PCR System procurement. The specifications call for a system that is equivalent or better than a Bio-Rad CFX-96 in terms of performance, temperature accuracy and uniformity, reliability, and compatibility with standard 96-well plates and assays. The system must have 4-channel optical detection, a dynamic range of 10 orders of magnitude, network connectivity, and Windows 10 PC software. Dimensions should be approximately 36x56x40cm. A standard 1-year warranty is required, with pricing provided for extended warranty options of 1-4 additional years. The related federal contract opportunity is for a 96-well Real-Time PCR System to be used at the USDA Agricultural Research Service in Tucson, Arizona. Solicitation number is 12905B23Q0199 and is being conducted by the Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service Pacific West Area office.

Specifications
1.0 ITEM DESCRIPTION:
96-well Real-Time PCR System with Windows 10 control & analysis software, and 5 years extended warranty equal to or better in performance to the Bio-Rad CFX-96.
2.0 Item Details:
a. Overall performance and function equivalent or better than an existing Bio-Rad CFX-96 real-time PCR system, with high levels of temperature accuracy, uniformity, and reliability.
b. Compatible with standard semi-skirted 0.2ml 96-well plates (e.g., USA Scientific Cat# 1402-9800) and FAM/SYBR-channel master mix assays (e.g., NEB #M3003S 2x Luna Mix) with sample volumes as low as 10ul.
c. ≥4 channels optical detection for multiplex probe assays, with dynamic range ≥10 orders of magnitude
d. Network-connected for remote system control and data output to network connected storage or desktop PC
e. Includes Windows 10 PC software for real-time PCR plate setup, data collection, statistics, and graphing of results
f. Compact benchtop size (dimensions ≤ 36x56x40cm WxDxH )
g. Standard 1 year warranty for on-site service and repairs, covers all travel, parts, labor.
3.0 Background & Site Description:
Carl Hayden Bee Research Center includes several labs that perform molecular biology research. These labs utilize real-time quantitative PCR to describe honey bee and microbial gene expression, microbial abundance, etc. This new real-time PCR machine will be replacing a CFX-96 rt-PCR machine and will be used alongside an existing CFX-96 rt-PCR machine. Thus, the new machine in this contract will, at minimum, be required to produce results directly comparable with that of the CFX96 platform. Moreover, preference will be given for a new rt-PCR machine that seamlessly integrates with our existing workflows and control software that is capable of importing or otherwise utilizing our existing protocol and data/results files as generated by CFX-Manager software (e.g., .pcrl, .pltd, .pcrd file types).
4.0 Warranty:
a. Submit data concerning the Standard Commercial warranty, including the warranty periods (dates), and warranty contacts with names, addresses and telephone numbers.
b. Extended Equipment/Product Warranties: Obtain and furnish to the Contracting Officer all written warranties for equipment (and software if applicable). The warranty period shall begin on the same date as delivery and acceptance by government and shall continue for the full/product warranty period. The warranties shall be fully executed and delivered to the Contracting Officer prior to final acceptance at the facility.
c. Pricing shall be included for extended warranties of between 1 and 4 years beyond the initial one year warranty included under CLIN 0001. Only one option will be exercised, but no options may be exercised depending on available funding.
