Amendment 2: Adds revised specifications (See Attachment 2 of this RFQ). Changes to the revised specifications will be in red. This amendment also answers Contractor questions and sets back the due date to September 28, 2015 @ 12:00 (ET).

1) Q: This specification is confusing as you cannot have two columns nor is it compatible with MSD detector cited in this RFQ. A: We are requesting a oven capable of accommodating two columns. It is realized that only one column will interface with the MSD. This allows us to utilize the GC for the other applications if necessary.

2) Q: The above specification cannot be met by Agilent and is completely incompatible with MSD as is noted below in Agilent's Fast GC Guide. Must have insert to meet the above

specified table and the GC must be 200/220/230/240 Volts. A: The specifications were indeed in error. Please see the attached specifications. Basically, my specifications were for a "fast" GC. The GC we actually want to purchase would be a "normal" 120V system.

3) Q: Software statement above states only Chemstation and MassHunter can be used. This is a lock out specification. Our company would like to bid but cannot sell Chemstation or MassHunter.

We can provide Chromeleon or TraceFinder to control and process our GC-MS system. We would like to submit an RFQ using Chromeleon or TraceFinder. Chromeleon can control and process Agilent standalone GCs/ We would like this specification to be re-written to allow for Chromeleon or TraceFinder to be quoted for this RFQ. A: The instrument purchased will need to be up and running almost immediately after installation to keep up with our sample analysis demand. We have invested a great deal of time in training, software development (programming) and LIMS interfacing using the Chemstation and MassHunter software. With limited resources, we are not in a position to train staff or write new software in a timely manner. Chemstation and MassHunter software are a must.
