About this opportunity
The Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Salt Lake Technical Center is conducting market research to procure an XRD Diffractometer System for high-precision analyses of crystalline materials. The system must be capable of performing phase identification, quantification, and crystallographic structure determination, with specific technical requirements including a Cu target X-ray source, goniometer system, and automated sample changer. Key technical objectives include achieving detection limits of 10 mg for silica and reliably measuring quartz and cristobalite at specific angles. Responses to this Request for Information (RFI) are due by January 28, 2025, at 5:00 pm EST, and must be submitted via email to Brandon Jones and Deborah Worrells. Potential contractors must provide a capabilities statement, completed Market Research Questionnaire, and equipment specifications, with responses limited to 15 pages excluding pictures and charts.
All qualified small businesses, including 8(a) firms, are encouraged to participate in this opportunity under NAICS category 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing). The contractor will be responsible for delivering and installing the system within 120 days of award, providing comprehensive training, and complying with the Buy American Act. While no specific award value is mentioned, the system must include an automated sample changer capable of handling 48-100 samples and be optimized for measuring low levels of respirable crystalline silica. The supplier will be responsible for shipping costs to the OSHA Technical Center facility in Sandy, UT. Importantly, this is a market research initiative and not a formal solicitation, meaning the government is not committed to issuing a contract and all submissions are voluntary.
