Frontier Laboratories Multi-Shot Pyrolyzer

The U.S. Department of the Treasury, Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Office of Business Solutions Acquisitions (OBSA) intends to negotiate a Firm Fixed Price (FFP), sole source contract for a Frontier Laboratories Multi-Shot Pyrolyzer to QA Group, LLC DBA Quantum Analytics at 8301 New Trails Drive, Ste 100, Spring, Texas, 77381.

The Frontier Multi-Shot Pyrolizer offers the unique capability of being able to inject samples more than once, at different temperature ranges, to acquire additional unique data.  The Frontier system is the only system capable of providing the multi-shot capability allowing for multiple samples at the same time.  This is crucial in keeping a high level of efficiency as the analyst does not have to wait hours after each sample.  This allows the analyst to inject multiple samples at the same time.

The Frontier system is the only system that can reach temperatures of 700 degrees Celsius and at that temperature another injection can be made.  Examination at that exact temperature is what CI needs for sample specificity and that temperature cannot be reached with any other product.

QA Group, LLC is the only sole source, authorized Agilent Technologies channel partner distributor for Frontier products in the United States and Canada for a Frontier Laboratories Multi-Shot Pyrolyzer. The IRS Criminal Investigation (CI) Division Center for Science and Design (CSD) Chemistry and Question Document section has a need to purchase a Pyrolysis unit attachment for an existing Gas Chromatograph Mass Spectrometer. This action will result in a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract.

The NAICS code is 334516.  The small business size standard is 1000 employees.  This announcement is in accordance with FAR 6.302.
