_X_ Description of the item or service required, the estimated cost, and required delivery date.

The iCAP PRO XP is a radial analysis inductively coupled plasma - optical emission spectrometer (ICP-OES) with a stand-alone computer controller capable of aqueous analysis and organic analysis. Installation needed for the iCAP PRO XP Radial ICP-OES, TF900 Air Cooled Chiller, CETAC Model ASX560 Autosampler, data station, CAP PRO Count Kit NA_Type K, and iCAP PRO Radial Organics Kit, as well as on-site training by the manufacturer.

_X_ Specific characteristics of the material or service that limit the availability to a sole source or particular brand name (unique features, function of the item, etc.).

Describe in detail why only this suggested source can furnish the requirements to the exclusion of other sources.

Code 640 needs a radial ICP-OES with a small footprint (690mm x 615mm) that can be bench mounted; is capable of analyzing aqueous and organic solutions; has a standalone computer for operating the instrument and compiling the generated data; and includes an autosampler and chilling unit. The iCAP PRO XP Radial ICP-OES meets all of these criteria. In addition, the laboratory has an iCAP PRO XP Radial ICP-OES and the laboratory personnel has operated it for 4 years; therefore, implementing the iCAP PRO XP Radial ICP-OES into the laboratory’s work processes will be immediate and will not cause any delay in analyzing aqueous and organic solutions.

_X_ The requested material or service represents the minimum requirements of the Government.
