About this opportunity
The contract opportunity involves the development and provision of an Automated Soil Analysis Platform (ASAP) for the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) managed by Battelle Pacific Northwest Division. The ASAP system will replace existing human-administered systems and will include features such as modularity, expandability, robotic liquid handling, sample tracking, remote monitoring, and comprehensive data collection. The contract includes tasks such as requirements review, design review, software installation, off-site assembly, factory acceptance testing, delivery, installation, system commissioning, site acceptance testing, and technical support.
Products and Services to be provided:
- Development and provision of an Automated Soil Analysis Platform (ASAP).
- Design and build a system capable of processing 32 samples per 8-hour workday with the capability to expand to 80 samples per 8-hour workday.
- Installation of workflow control software at PNNL, including connections to EMSL’s LIMS, validation of the installation, and initial training in its use.
- Off-site assembly and factory acceptance testing of the full automated system.
- Delivery, installation, and integration of the ASAP system with the workflow control software and EMSL’s LIMS system.
- Provision of remote and/or on-site technical support for 1 year after installation and commissioning of the ASAP system.
