Technical specifications include capillary split/splitless inlet capability, oven temperature range up to 450 degrees Celsius, maximum mass detection of 1,050 Daltons, electronic scan rate up to 20,000 Daltons per second, and a minimum 50-vial autosampler capacity. Systems must ship with NIST 2020 and Wiley 12th Edition mass spectral libraries preloaded. Delivery is required within 90 calendar days of contract award.

The award is firm-fixed-price for a single purchase order covering both complete systems with all necessary supplies, accessories, and installation materials. Price must include delivery, installation, warranty, and applicable taxes. The contract includes a one-year warranty with unlimited on-site service visits at a maximum 72-hour response time, factory-certified parts, engineer labor and travel, and three days of specialist training.
