About this opportunity
Orange County, Florida is soliciting sealed electronic offers for a single Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer (ICP-MS) for the Utilities Department's Central Laboratory, specifically to replace an existing Agilent 7700 series instrument installed in 2015. The procurement, identified as Y24-608-KS, is seeking a state-of-the-art ICP-MS for analyzing trace metals in environmental samples including potable waters, environmental waters, and bio-solids. Acceptable models include the Perkin Elmer NexION 2200, ThermoScientific RQPlus, and Agilent 7900 ICP-MS. The vendor must provide a completely assembled instrument complying with EPA methods 200.8 and SW846 6020, including specific technical requirements for bench-top design, mass spectrometer capabilities, and software compatibility. Key procurement dates include a question submission deadline of March 18, 2024 at 5:00 pm EST, with final electronic bids due on April 9, 2024 at 4:00 pm EST through the ProcureNow OpenGov e-Procurement Platform. The successful bidder must deliver the instrument within 90 calendar days of the purchase order, provide a one-year warranty, and conduct three days of on-site instrument and software operation training.
While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned, the procurement requires vendors to meet several compliance and qualification standards. Bidders must provide documentation including detailed specification sheets, references, drug-free workplace certification, E-Verify compliance, and conflict of interest statements. Insurance requirements include commercial general liability, automobile liability, and workers' compensation coverage. The contract will be awarded on an all-or-none total basis to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Technical support requirements include immediate telephone support and on-site service within 72 hours if telephone troubleshooting is ineffective. The delivery must be made using a lift gate with inside delivery to the Utilities Laboratory Building in Orlando, Florida. While a specific budget range was not disclosed, the procurement suggests a high-value scientific instrument procurement typical of advanced laboratory equipment, likely in the range of $250,000 to $500,000.
