About this opportunity

The Department of the Army Materiel Command Mission and Installation Contracting Command Fort Drum is seeking to procure a Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometer (LC-MS) system with integrated capabilities for both qualitative and quantitative analysis. The system must feature a dual ion source providing both electrospray ionization (ESI) and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI), with all components manufactured and serviced by a single company operating through a unified software platform. Critical technical requirements include a scan speed of 15,000 u/sec in 0.1u steps with 0.7u step resolution, mass range capability from 2-2000 m/z, nitrogen consumption not exceeding 15 L/min, and a removable desolvation capillary that maintains vacuum during replacement. The system must incorporate autotuning functionality for both positive and negative ion modes, automatic peak asymmetry detection for quality assurance purposes, and automatic restart upon power failure. The solicitation was posted on April 30, 2026, with proposals due by May 15, 2026.

This procurement opportunity is designated as Total Small Business set-aside, restricting competition to firms meeting Small Business Administration size standards. The place of performance is located at 753 Cullum Rd, West Point, NY 10996, USA, and the contract includes delivery and installation of the equipment to that location. The solicitation falls under NAICS code 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) and PSC code 6630 (Chemical Analysis Instruments), indicating the specialized nature of the required equipment. No specific budget range, incumbent contractor information, or award value has been disclosed in the solicitation notice. The relatively short proposal period of 15 days suggests an expedited procurement timeline for this scientific instrumentation.

Notice text

Require an instrument that contains both liquid chromatography and mass spectrometer in paired/joined configuration. The preferred system for the liquid chromatograph and the mass spectrometer should have all items manufactured and serviced by the same company. The integrated software package should be able to operate and control both the mass spectrometer and liquid chromatograph instruments from a single unified operating platform. The system should be capable of performing both qualitative and quantitative analysis on a sample in a single run. Instrument must include all software to process quantification data and acquire samples, automatically restarts upon power failure and detect asymmetry in peak shape for quality assurance/quality control. The instrument must use a dual ion source that can provide both electrospray ionization (ESI) and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) to the same sample. Desolvation capillary must be removeable and replaced without breaking vacuum which allows for easier maintenance. The detector must use an off axis, high energy conversion dynode coupled with a discrete multistage active film electron multiplier, without phosphorconversion. Maximum nitrogen consumption needs to be 15 L/min or less for nebulization and drying purposes. Autotuning function must be included that optimizes both positive and negative ion modes, all scan speeds, mass axis calibration, sensitivity, and mass resolution automatically with a single tuning solution. Must include a system check to provide essential information on the status of the instrument and can be integrated into batches for smooth maintenance and troubleshooting. Scan speed needs to be 15,000 u/sec in 0.1u steps without reducing scan mass range. Scan step resolution should be 0.7u at all scan speeds. Mass range must be from 2-2000 m/z to enable analysis of a wide range of analytes including large peptides with multi-charge states. Must include delivery and installation to West Point NY, 10996 and include a 1-year warranty on parts and labor.According to DFARS 204.7304 Solicitation provision and contract clauses (c) This is a COTS item and 252.204-7012 would be exempted from this solicitation - this item does not need to be CMMC 2.0 compliant.
