Project IDIQ for solid phase extraction columns and QUECHERS salts kits/packages

General Information

1.0 Scope of Work

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) requires solid phase extraction columns, QUECHERS salt kits, and QUECHERS salt packages used for the chromatographic separation of analytical compounds by chromatography/mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry in the form of an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract.

2.0 Background

The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), a public health regulatory agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), protects consumers by ensuring that meat, poultry, and egg products are safe, wholesome, and accurately labeled. USDA FSIS has three analytical laboratories (Eastern, Western, and Midwestern) that use the extraction columns and QUECHERS kits to check for veterinary drug, pesticide, and contaminant chemical residues within the nation’s food supply. These laboratories are operated under the Office of Public Health Safety (OPHS). The solid phase extraction columns, QUECHERS salt kits, and QUECHERS salt packages are used for extraction clean-up of samples. The columns separate out impurities from extracts based on molecular characteristics such as hydrophobicity and ionic interactions.
