About this file
This is a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) for the purchase of analytical laboratory instrumentation under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT). ORNL is soliciting firm fixed price quotes for six line items: (1) TRI-CARB 4910 TR 110V liquid scintillation counter with standard features including SpectraWorks 2 spectral analysis, TR-LSC background reduction technology, QuantaSmart 5.4 software for Windows 11, Varisette sample cassette option with capacity for 408 large or 720 small vials, 4000-channel spectrometer, 1-year warranty, and specifications including 217 kg weight and 100-240V power requirements; (2) Alpha Beta Separation Package 7005455 with Instrument Performance Assessment, luminescence detection and correction, high sensitivity via TR-LSC, and Pulse Shape Analysis discrimination; (3) Utility Cart (Assembled) 5086347; (4) Installation II-Wizard MB2, TC4910, TC5 N0209811; (5) Unquenched LSC Standards 20ml vials 6008500A; and (6) Ultima Gold Quench Standards C14 20ml 6007601A. Award will be made to the lowest priced, technically acceptable proposal.
Offerors must submit a single PDF proposal by 5:00 PM EST on October 28, 2026, to Procurement Officer Rachel Botes via email. The proposal must include a firm fixed price and a completed, signed copy of the Abbreviated Representations and Certifications (BSD-CS-2260, dated 03/2026). Offerors may take exceptions to terms and conditions, which must be documented in the proposal with explanations and alternate solutions; failure to include an "Exceptions/Non-Compliance" section constitutes acceptance of all requirements. The applicable NAICS code is 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing, 1,000 employees threshold). Terms and conditions are governed by BSD-CS-2154 (09/30/2026) for purchase orders of commercial products and services, and Prime Flowdown Clauses BSD-CS-2258 (09/30/2026) apply as supplemental requirements under prime contract DE-AC05-00OR22725.

REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL
(Purchases under the SAT)
Updated: 01/13/2026
BSD-CS-1085
Hello, Potential Offeror, Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is inviting you to submit a Firm Fixed Price quote for the following items listed below. An award will be made based on the lowest priced, technically acceptable proposal.
Summary of Work/Description of Items:
1. TRI-CARB 4910 TR – 110V
o Tri-Carb 4910TR standard features include:
o SpectraWorks 2: Spectral analysis package that determines optimal counting regions and calculates figure of merit (FOM) o Replay: Allows users to immediately view results under different counting conditions without having to duplicate time consuming runs o TR-LSC (Time-Resolved Liquid Scintillation Counting): Background reduction circuitry and software o Auxiliary Spectrum Memory: Stores rejected counts for analysis.
o Luminescence Detection - QuantaSmart 5.4 software for the Win 11 OS with on-line help o Dynamic Color Correction: Ensures accuracy of tracking lower energy sample spectra over a wide quench range o Varisette Option: Sample cassette that allows flexibility in counting both large and small vials in the same run in dedicated cassettes 408 large (20 mL) or 720 small (4-7 mL) vial capacity o Cassette loading bi-directional conveyor o Linear 4000 Channel Spectralyzer Multi Channel Analyzer (MCA) o Electrostatic controller o Group PrioStat Interrupt Mode: allows priority samples to be added on the-fly o Automatic single label Direct Disintegrations Per Minute (DPM) with Ba-133 External Standard o Built-in computer with Win 11 64-bit OS 8 GB RAM and 512 GB hard disk Dual Gigabit Ethernet support o Power Requirements: 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz, 3-prong grounded plug o Dimensions: Width 103 cm, Depth 81 cm, Height 47 cm o Product Weight: 217 kg o 1 year warranty
2. ALPHA BETA SEPERATION PKG 7005455
4910TR Alpha Beta Separation PKG o Instrument Performance Assessment (IPA): IPA is a quality control monitor of critical instrument performance parameters to support the validity of data Luminescence Detection and Correction:
o Removes interference from luminescence by detecting and recording only the chance coincidence
(unwanted luminescence) events. These luminescence events are then subtracted from the total counts High Sensitivity:
o Improves instrument sensitivity by reducing background counting levels with the use of the proven TR-LSC
(Time Resolved ‒ Liquid Scintillation Counting) technology Alpha Beta Separation:
o Improves accuracy of alpha and beta counts by minimizing misclassified events using PSA histogram (Pulse
Shape Analysis) discrimination. Dual PSA discriminators reduce misclassifications
3. Utility Cart (Assembled), 5086347
4. Installation II – Wizard, MB2, TC4910,TC 5, N0209811
5. Unquenched LSC Standards, 20ml vials, 6008500A
6. ULTIMA GOLD QNCH STDS C14- 20ML, 6007601A
Please provide a single PDF proposal that contains the following information:
Price: A firm fixed price proposal
Required Documents: Provide a completed and signed copy of the following attached documents:
