Scope: Federal

This is a Notice of Intent, not a request for proposal.

The National Institute of Health, Clinical Center (NIH-CC) intends to negotiate on an other than full and open competition basis with the following vendor: Peak Scientific.

Acquisition Description: The CPL uses LC-MS/MS and related bioanalytical instrumentation to quantify drugs, metabolites, and other analytes in patient and research specimens.

These systems require a consistent supply of high-purity nitrogen and clean dry air for stable instrument operation, reproducible analytical performance, and reliable daily sample analysis.

The nitrogen generator currently supporting these instruments is no longer being serviced by the vendor, creating operational risk for the laboratory.

Loss of nitrogen or dry-air supply would directly impair operation of the instruments and could delay analysis of clinical research samples.

Replacing the unsupported unit with a Peak Scientific Infinity XE6020 +AD will restore a serviceable and supportable gas supply for ongoing research operations.

The quoted Peak Scientific configuration specifies an air input requirement of 120 psi, nitrogen output of 100 psi at approximately 100 liters per minute, and dry-air output of 100 psi at 50 liters per minute.

These output characteristics are required to support the laboratory instruments that rely on nitrogen and dry air during routine operation.

The statutory authority for this sole source requirement is 41 U.S.C.

1901 (a) (1) as implemented by FAR 13.106-1 only one responsible source and no other supply of service will satisfy agency requirements.

THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL.

All responsible sources that could provide the required may submit a capability statement that will be considered by email (subject line to reference NOI-CC-OLAO-26-007237)...

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
