About this file

This statement of work outlines the technical requirements for delivery, installation, and training of a thermogravimetric analyzer - mass spectrometer system. Key requirements include a TGA with autosampler and furnace capable of evolved gas analysis, a heated transfer line, mass spectrometer with range of 1-300 amu, software compatible with Windows 10 without internet, and a computing device. Installation and training by a service technician is required at the specified delivery location within 180 days of award. The related federal contract opportunity is a notice of intent to sole source from the US Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service for the thermogravimetric analyzer - mass spectrometer described in the statement of work.
