SCIEX Triple Quad 7500 System and Components

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has issued a Special Notice for the acquisition of a SCIEX Triple Quad 7500 System and associated components. FSIS intends to award a sole source firm-fixed price contract to AB Sciex, LLC under the authority of FAR 13.5 for this $601,721.75 requirement to support the agency's Office of Public Health Science.

The purpose of this Special Notice is to provide notice and opportunity for interested responsible sources to submit capability statements by July 22, 2024, to determine if a competitive procurement should be conducted in the future. FSIS seeks to procure this system due to the need for compatibility with the agency's existing workflows and validation processes used in its Eastern and Western laboratories. No set-aside is used for this requirement, and FSIS will perform additional market research for future procurements to potentially remove barriers to competition.
