11. Must be able to seamlessly transfer existing methods, data files, and/or spectral libraries from older LC instruments.

12. Must be able to view data collection live and easy to use live preview option.

13. Must be able to generate reports using template or by creating custom reports.

14. Must have ability to perform custom calculations.

15. Must be able to save spectra and a copy of the exact method used for their acquisition for traceability requirements in an accredited laboratory.

16. All raw data must be saved including calibration curves and the system must allow for post run reprocessing of any data point, eliminating the need to reanalyze the sample.

17. Must have a peak exploration tool to spot trends, retention time shifts, outliers, and artifacts to quickly diagnose instrument problems.

Support

18. Must include delivery and complete installation of the entire system to including software and transfer of methods.

19. Must include on-site familiarization training (for up to 4 people) for each component of the system and 3 consecutive days (8 hours per day) of on-site method and application consulting by a certified Agilent service engineer.

20. Must include a full 3-year extended warranty which includes all repairs (parts, labor, and travel). Must also include unlimited telephone technical help for hardware, software, applications, and consumables.

21. Telephone and/or online technical support for applications and method development from the manufacturer must be available for the entire useful life of the system.

Technical Assessment of Offeror Product

22. Technical assessment will consist of vendors providing peak resolution data to senior analyst prior to award.

23. Senior analyst will assess technical performance of all proposals in order to verify minimum specification requirements.
