Limited Source Justification for High Performance Liquid Chromatography

Task Order HSHQDC-15-F-00244 was awarded to Agilent Technologies Inc. against the GSA Schedule Contract GS-07F-0564X. This award was made pursuant to FAR 8.405-3 (c)(2)(iii)(A) using the exception under FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B). The Limited Source Justification (LSJ) number is FY15-0505 and was signed September 17, 2015. A copy of the LSJ is attached.

The Department of Homeland Security procured these items on a limited source basis as only one source was capable of providing the supplies. DHS required the acquisition and application of a 1200 series HPLC from Agilent Technologies that could be used with current (previously developed) methods utilized within the Trace Detection & Explosives Chemistry Laboratory (TDECL). The system needed the ability to run the exact analysis that is currently performed by a 1200 Series HPLC that is used for standards quality assurance and quality control. The Mass Spectrometer (MS) also needed to be capable of coupling to a 1200 Series HPLC with the ability to provide identification of known and unknown compounds analyzed on the 1200 Series HPLC.
