Nuclear Magnetic Resonanace Spectrometer

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection New York Laboratory seeks to purchase a 400 MHz Fourier Transform Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectrometer and associated database suitable for algorithmic searches to assist with food authentication and country of origin determination for honey. The instrument must be able to measure one-dimensional spectra of honey samples, transmit that data to a remote honey profile database, and return a statistically significant match on both the presence of adulterants and region or country of origin. Responses to the Request for Information are due by 3:00pm on April 16, 2020.

There is no set-aside designation for this procurement. The Statement of Work and RFI provide technical specifications for the NMR magnet, console, probes and associated equipment as well as capabilities required of the statistical reporting software. Delivery timeframes and information regarding the respondents' manufacturing locations and any relevant past federal contracts valued over $10,000 are also requested.
