About this opportunity
The National Institute of Health, Clinical Center issued a Notice of Intent on July 21, 2026 to acquire one Peak Scientific Infinity XE6020 +AD Nitrogen and Dry-Air Generator Detection System on a sole-source basis, with capability statements due by August 5, 2026. The agency invokes 41 U.S.C. 1901(a)(1) and FAR 13.106-1, asserting that only Peak Scientific represents a responsible source meeting agency requirements.
The Clinical Pharmacology Laboratory operates LC-MS/MS and bioanalytical instrumentation requiring consistent high-purity nitrogen and clean dry air for stable operation and reproducible analytical performance. The existing nitrogen generator is no longer serviced by its vendor, creating operational risk and potential delays in analysis of clinical research samples. The replacement system must deliver nitrogen output of 100 psi at approximately 100 liters per minute and dry-air output of 100 psi at 50 liters per minute, with an air input requirement of 120 psi.
Though the agency has stated an intent to negotiate with Peak Scientific, all responsible sources capable of providing the required system may submit a capability statement for consideration. Responses must reference subject line NOI-CC-OLAO-26-007237 and arrive at valerie.gregorio@nih.gov by 12:00 PM Eastern time on August 5, 2026. This is not a request for proposal; all statements received by the closing date will be evaluated.
Notice text
This is a Notice of Intent, not a request for proposal. The National Institute of Health, Clinical Center (NIH-CC) intends to negotiate on an other than full and open competition basis with the following vendor: Peak Scientific.
Acquisition Description:
The CPL uses LC-MS/MS and related bioanalytical instrumentation to quantify drugs, metabolites, and other analytes in patient and research specimens. These systems require a consistent supply of high-purity nitrogen and clean dry air for stable instrument operation, reproducible analytical performance, and reliable daily sample analysis. The nitrogen generator currently supporting these instruments is no longer being serviced by the vendor, creating operational risk for the laboratory. Loss of nitrogen or dry-air supply would directly impair operation of the instruments and could delay analysis of clinical research samples. Replacing the unsupported unit with a Peak Scientific Infinity XE6020 +AD will restore a serviceable and supportable gas supply for ongoing research operations.
The quoted Peak Scientific configuration specifies an air input requirement of 120 psi, nitrogen output of 100 psi at approximately 100 liters per minute, and dry-air output of 100 psi at 50 liters per minute. These output characteristics are required to support the laboratory instruments that rely on nitrogen and dry air during routine operation.
The statutory authority for this sole source requirement is 41 U.S.C. 1901 (a) (1) as implemented by FAR 13.106-1 only one responsible source and no other supply of service will satisfy agency requirements. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL. All responsible sources that could provide the required may submit a capability statement that will be considered by email (subject line to reference NOI-CC-OLAO-26-007237) by 12:00 PM eastern standard time on 8/5/2026 to valerie.gregorio@nih.gov.
All responses received by the closing date of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination not to compete this requirement, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government.
