STATEMENT OF WORK

(MULTIPLE CHEMICALS)

1. BACKGROUND

The Mass Spectrometry Data Center (MSDC) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Material Measurement Laboratory (MML) Biomolecular Measurement Division (BMD) is responsible for the development of the NIST, NIH, and EPA Mass Spectral Library and tandem Mass Spectral Database. To carry out this responsibility, the MSDC has a requirement for a variety of chemicals. These chemicals are organic compounds of varying types and do not belong to a specific class; they are used for Mass Spectrometry and do not require special approval through NIST.

2. ATTACHMENTS

Attachment 1 – Chemical List, identified by structure (SMILES).

3. SCOPE

Delivery of chemicals listed in Attachment 1 and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS).

4. REQUIREMENTS

4.1. The contractor shall deliver the chemicals set forth in Attachment 1 (Required Chemicals) in the quantities set forth therein. Larger quantities may be provided if sufficiently small quantities are not available, but only up to 1 g. Split shipments of chemicals are acceptable so long as the total number of shipments does not exceed ten (10) per Contract Line Item.

4.2. The contractor shall provide a MSDS for each chemical delivered. The acceptable formats include: (a) a hyperlink, (b) a paper version, or (c) an electronic version. A hyperlink or electronic version is preferred.

4.3. The chemicals shall be of a purity of greater than, or equal to, 90%.

5. DELIVERY

All chemicals and MSDS shall be delivered within 60 days from date of award.

Chemicals of defined quantity, purity, and physical documentation (if any) shall be delivered to the NIST campus in Gaithersburg, MD. Electronic information shall be delivered the TPOC via e-mail, secure download, or CD/DVD disc.

6. INSPECTION, ACCEPTANCE AND PAYMENT

NIST will inspect chemicals as they are received. Advance Payment is not authorized. Payment will be made only after acceptance of deliverables. Partial payments are authorized, so long as the total number of invoices submitted per Contract Line Item does not exceed ten (10) and the deliverables associated with the invoice have been accepted by NIST. NIST will only pay for chemicals received and accepted by NIST. Should a chemical become unavailable between the time of award and the time of shipment, the contractor shall notify the NIST TPOC and only bill for those chemicals actually provided and accepted.
