This document is a Single Source Determination using Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) for the Department of Commerce's Northwest Fisheries Science Center. The agency intends to purchase a PrepLinc2 (PL2) Automated GPC Cleanup System with integrated solid-phase extraction from J2 Scientific LLC, located in Columbia, MO. The specialized scientific instrument is critical for the Environmental Chemistry Program's research, including stormwater science, Endangered Species Act work, damage assessments, and marine mammal research.

The system requires specific technical capabilities, including a J2 Scientific PL2 GPC cleanup module with a liquid handler, HPLC pump, septum-piercing autosampler, and a direct injection module. Key requirements include compatibility with existing systems, a compact footprint for laboratory safety, ability to puncture collection tube septa, automated SPE integration, and an upgradable UV detector with a wavelength range of 195-800 nm. The estimated delivery is 90 days from the award date, and the procurement is being conducted on a sole-source basis due to J2 Scientific being the only vendor meeting all of the agency's precise technical specifications.
