About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Health Administration, Veterans Integrated Service Network 8 is seeking to procure a Thermo Scientific Vanquish Horizon/Flex Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatograph (UPLC) system. This UPLC will be used by the Roskamp Institute to conduct research in lipidomics, metabolomics, proteomics, and stable isotope analysis related to Alzheimer's disease in veterans, particularly those with traumatic brain injury or post-traumatic stress disorder. The UPLC is required to have specific capabilities to enable optimal chromatographic separation and increased sample throughput. The solicitation will be evaluated based on price, with the award going to the responsible offeror whose proposal is the most advantageous. Offers are due by July 10, 2024.
This solicitation is set aside for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSBs). The place of performance is 2040 Whitfield Ave, Sarasota, FL 34243, USA. No specific award value or budget range is provided, but the UPLC system is a single item procurement. The delivery and installation of the UPLC must be completed within 30 days of award.

STATEMENT OF NEED
Vanquish Horizon/Flex Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatograph
GENERAL: James A. Haley Veterans Hospital Research and Development Services, 13000 Bruce B. Downs Blvd, Tampa, FL 33612. Thermo Scientific Vanquish Horizon/Flex Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatograph system (UPLC). This Brand Name Only requirement for the Thermo-Fisher Vanquish UPLC will be used for lipidomics, metabolomics, proteomics, and stable isotope tracing to identify new treatments for Alzheimer s disease.
BACKGROUND: The Roskamp Institute, mass spectrometry team conducts research in neurological illnesses including Alzheimer s disease (AD) for its prevention and treatment in veterans carrying the genetic risk factor APOE 4 (involved in lipid transport) as they represent an at-risk population for AD especially after having sustained a Traumatic Brain Injury and/or developed Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. The consequences of traumatic brain injury (TBI) can lead to stroke and other neuroglial diseases are highly prevalent in the Veteran population.
PURPOSE: The equipment will enhance the ability of the researcher to increase the number of samples that can be processed at once through its ability to deliver optimal chromatographic separation of the lipid analytes at ultrahigh speed. The Thermo Scientific Vanquish Horizon/Flex UPLC pumps allow for precise flow which reduces retention time drift which is important for
lipidomics experiments.
SCOPE: James A. Haley is requesting the Vanquish Horizon/Flex UHPLC (Brand Name Only) to preform lipidomic, proteomic, metabolomic, and stable isotope analysis via mass spectrometry.
