Westchester County's Bureau of Purchase and Supplies is conducting a sole source notification for the Department of Labs & Research to procure a specialized scientific instrument from Perkin Elmer US, LLC. The procurement involves an Avio 550 Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometer (ICP-OES) comprehensive package, which includes the main instrument system, multiple accessories such as an autosampler, probe, tubing kits, and various solutions, along with 36 Gold Plan 1PM service agreements. Vendors interested in this opportunity must submit a Statement of Capabilities electronically through BidNet's portal by August 27, 2025, before 2:00 PM, demonstrating authorized distributorship and capability to deliver the products in New York. The technical specifications are extensive, covering detailed requirements for RF generation, optical systems, software capabilities, and performance metrics including plasma ignition, spectral range, detection limits, calibration modes, and advanced software features like database management and data visualization. This solicitation is an informational notice, with the County reserving the right to determine whether to proceed with a competitive solicitation based on the responses received.

The sole source notification does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are specifically identified in the documentation. The procurement appears focused on acquiring a highly specialized scientific instrument for laboratory research purposes, suggesting potential integration with existing laboratory infrastructure and technology. While a precise award value is not specified, the comprehensive nature of the instrument package, including the spectrometer system, accessories, and 36 service agreements, indicates a significant potential contract value. Potential respondents must demonstrate technical competence, authorized distributorship, and the ability to meet the detailed technical specifications outlined in the notification. The County's approach suggests a preference for a vendor with comprehensive capabilities in scientific instrumentation and service provision.
