STATEMENT OF WORK (SERVICES)

(SOW)

GENERAL INFORMATION

Title of Project:

Maintenance Agreement of Bruker Biospin Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectrometer

Statement of Need and Purpose:

Once a year, Bruker's engineer performs a major preventive-maintenance (PM) service on the

NMR spectrometer. Whenever there is a hardware issue, the company dispatches its engineer to the site for troubleshooting and fixing the problem. The PM also includes regular upgrading of the NMR software.

Background Information and Objective:

The PET Radiopharmaceutical Sciences Section of Molecular Imaging Branch

(PRSS/MIB/NIMH) is equipped with a 400 MHz NMR spectrometer. The instrument’s model is

Avance III HD 400 Nanobay with system ID no. 10246033. This research instrument is manufactured by Bruker BioSpin Corp. The NMR spectrometer enables characterization of organic molecules by providing 1D spectra for proton, carbon, fluorine, boron, and selenium, and 2D spectra for some of these nuclides. The instrument is used by 15 chemists in the laboratory. The NMR should be operational with minimal downtime for ready accessibility and the laboratory’s productivity.

Period of Performance:

The period of performance is one 12-month base year with four 12-month option years.

Proposed Base Year: March 1, 2024 through February 28, 2025

Proposed Option Year 1: March 1, 2025 through February 28, 2026

Proposed Option Year 2: March 1, 2026 through February 28, 2027

Proposed Option Year 3: March 1, 2027 through February 28, 2028

Proposed Option Year 4: March 1, 2028 through February 28, 2029

This coverage includes the console, the magnet, the probe as well as the temperature control unit.

SCOPE OF WORK

General Requirements:

Independently and not as an agent of the Government, the Contractor shall furnish all the necessary services, qualified personnel, material, equipment, and facilities, not otherwise provided by the Government as needed to perform the Statement of Work below:

The contractor shall be responsible for the maintenance of all the components of the NMR spectrometer: 1) Nanobay Console; 2) Magnet; 3) Temperature Control Unit, BCUII; and 4)

Probe, PA BBO 400S1 BBF-H-D-05 Z. A certified engineer shall perform once every year a major PM service on the NMR system. In addition, the contractor shall respond to service calls and provide expertise in fixing the problem. The contractor shall send its certified engineer to the laboratory when a repair is needed. If necessary, the contractor shall replace the parts at no additional cost.

Specific Requirements:

A qualified engineer from the company (contractor) shall perform an annual PM service on the

NMR spectrometer. The PM task involves:

1) testing of console’s electronic boards;

2) inspection or testing of magnet’s vibration damper, airflow, liquid helium level (calibration), NMR probe, and the cooling unit;

3) replacement of air filters (console and cooler); and

4) repair components or correct any problems, if needed.

In addition, the engineer shall:

5) perform 90° pulse calibration for proton, carbon, and fluorine nuclides;

6) shim the magnet and create a line-shape until an acceptable line-width is attained for the chloroform peak; and

7) check the sensitivity by measuring signal-to-noise ratio from the ethyl benzene spectrum.

After completion of the PM services, the contractor shall prepare a report and submit it to the laboratory supervisor.

The contractor shall troubleshoot and repair all components of the NMR spectrometer. The service contract also covers the cost of repair and replacement of any of the parts involved. If

NMR probe needs to be repaired or serviced, the laboratory shall ship it to the designated workshop. The contractor shall ship the probe back to the laboratory at no additional cost.

Additionally, the contractor shall provide expertise in resolving any software or hardware problems that may be encountered during routine operation of the instrument.

Services shall be performed by an authorized Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) service provider using genuine OEM parts.

LEVEL OF EFFORT:

An engineer trained by Bruker shall perform the repair or preventive maintenance service. Six to eight hours of labor may be needed to complete these tasks.

GOVERNMENT RESPONSIBILITIES

The location of the Bruker NMR is Building 10, Room B3C343, 10 Center Drive, Bethesda, MD

20892. The contractor needs to enter NIH campus and then access this laboratory area. The government (laboratory) will provide the gloves, solvents, glassware, and calibration standards for servicing the NMR spectrometer

DELIVERY OR DELIVERABLES

1) Service or repair Bruker’s 400 MHz NMR spectrometer as and when required; 2) Run all the tests to ensure that instrument’s performance complies with the Bruker’s specifications; and 3)

Show that the NMR acquires and generates satisfactory proton, carbon, and fluorine spectra for organic compounds.

REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

The contractor is required to provide a written report immediately after servicing or repairing

Bruker’s 400 MHz NMR spectrometer. One original copy signed by the contractor’s engineer is required. The progress report shall cover all work completed during the specified period and shall present the work to be accomplished during the subsequent period. This report shall also identify any problems that arose and a statement explaining how the problem was resolved.

This report shall also identify any problems that have arisen but have not been completely resolved and provide an explanation.

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS

Travel:

The principal place of performance is Building 10, Room B3C343, 10 Center Drive, Bethesda, MD 20892. Accordingly, reimbursable travel and per diem for the contractor’s employees performing work on a regular basis at this place of performance is not authorized. Any changes to this must be approved in advance by the contracting officer.
