About this opportunity

NASA's Shared Services Center issued a sole-source procurement notice for an Agilent 8890 GC/7000E GC Triple Quad mass spectrometry system with a response deadline of July 28, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. Central Time. The system will be procured under FAR 12.102(a) as a commercial item from Agilent Technologies (2850 Centerville Road, Wilmington, Delaware).

The system is required for molecular and stable isotope analysis of meteoritic organic compounds at NASA Ames Research Center, Building N239, room 310, Moffett Field, California, with delivery by July 31, 2026. Critical specifications include dual filament design for redundancy, a monolithic gold-plated quadrupole for enhanced sensitivity on high boiling point compounds, and a 4 femtogram Octafluoronaphthalene Instrument Detection Limit for ultra-trace analyte detection. The Agilent system's Mass Hunter software is the sole platform capable of reading legacy Agilent Chem Station data files into newer software, protecting compatibility with historical meteoritic research data.

Interested organizations may submit written capabilities and qualifications to Kacey L. Hickman (Kacey.l.hickman@nasa.gov) by the July 28 deadline. The government will evaluate submissions solely to determine whether to conduct a full and open competition; the government retains discretion to proceed with sole-source award or convert to competitive procurement. Oral communications are not acceptable.
