About this file
The document is a Salient Characteristics Commercial Availability Certification for an automated discrete analyzer, specifically a 100% small business set-aside solicitation (W911QX25Q0058) issued by the Department of the Army Materiel Command Army Contracting Command Aberdeen Proving Ground. The U.S. Army Research Laboratory requires one discrete analyzer for enzyme assay applications with extensive technical specifications, including the ability to analyze various samples, utilize different enzymes and reagents, perform multiple reaction types, and measure at least ten chemical parameters per sample with sensitivity down to parts per billion.
Key technical requirements include automated analysis capabilities with wavelength detection from 340-880 nanometers, temperature control between 25-60 degrees Celsius, capacity for 90 samples and 30 reagents, performance of 150 tests per hour, and compatibility with manufacturer and third-party reagents. The system must include system control and analysis software, an instrument computer, pre-defined methods for common assays, and at least two years of remote technical support. All shipping and handling costs to the delivery location are to be included in the contract, with the solicitation specifically set aside for small business vendors.

Salient Characteristics
Commercial Availability Certification:
I have evaluated the commercial marketplace and determined that all of the salient characteristics documented below are available in products/services offered in the commercial marketplace.
Signature (typed name): To be Announced After Award Technical Point of Contact (TPOC) or Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR)
The United States (U.S.) Army Research Laboratory (ARL) requires one (1) automated discrete analyzer for enzyme assay applications capable of utilizing a vararity of enzymes and measuring conditions for enzyme method development and routine enzyme assay/activity assessment. The system shall meet the following salient characteristics:
· Shall be capable of automated analysis of a variety of samples.
· Shall be capable to utilize both commercially prepared enzymes and reagents for standardized assays as well as user prepared enzymes and reagents for enzyme assay development.
· Shall be capable of colorimetric end-point, turbidimetric, kinetic, and bichromatic reactions without the need for repetitive sample blanking.
· Shall be capable to define and control incubator/chamber temperature as well as incubation time for individual samples.
· Shall be capable to stabily maintain incubation temperatures between 25 and 60 degrees Celsius.
· Shall be capable to contain at least 90 samples and 30 reagents.
· Shall be capable of performing at least 150 tests per hour.
· Shall be capable to use sample and reagent volumes less than 240 microliters.
· Shall be capable of disposable cuvettes or reaction cells to eliminate washing and sample carry over.
· Shall be capable to optically detect wavelengths from 340 nanometers to 880 nanometers.
· Shall be capable to measure sample potential of hydrogen pH, and conductivity.
· Shall be capable to measure at least ten (10) chemical parameters per sample.
· Shall be capable to measure over a wide concentration range with sensitivity down to the parts per billion.
· Shall be capable of automatic sample/standard dilution on the instrument for the generation of calibration curves and dilution of overly concentrated samples.
· Shall be capable of automated standard addition for analysis in complex sample matrices.
· Shall be compatible with manufacturer, third party, and user supplied reagents and enzymes.
· Shall include pre-defined methods for common assays (e.g. pH) and allow for automated method development of user assays.
· Shall include system control and analysis software with run scheduling functionality to automatically analyze samples based on user definer parameters.
· Shall include instrument computer to control instrument functions, run instrument software and collect and analyze sample data.
· Shall include at least two (2) years of remote technical/instrument support.
· Shall include all shipping and handling costs to delivery location.
