Agency: AGRICULTURE, DEPARTMENT OF / FOOD SAFETY AND INSPECTION SERVICE
Location: BELTSVILLE, MD
Set-aside: No Set aside used
NAICS: 334516
Scope: Federal

The USDA ARS Southern Regional Research Center (SRRC) intends to issue a commercial solicitation for the procurement of one (1) Benchtop Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectrometer.

The requirement is for a complete system capable of measuring spin-active nuclei of chemical compounds to determine structure, identity, concentration, and behavior in solution.

Typical protocols include 1D NMR with pulse-field gradient (PFG) and 2D NMR.

Minimum Technical Requirements: - Nuclei Capabilities: Support 1H, 13C, and 13C {1H} acquisitions in 1D; 2D correlation spectroscopy (COSY, HSQC, HMBC, HETCOR, DEPT, etc.); DOSY and PFG sequences.

Ability to perform other decoupled nuclei analysis (e.g., 19F, 31P, 2H, 7Li, 11B, 15N, 23Na) via a freely tunable broadband NMR probe over the range of active NMR nuclei. - Pulse Programs: Must support customizable, user-defined pulse programs. - Sample Compatibility: Compatible with aqueous or organic solvent samples in standard 5 mm NMR tubes. - Magnet & Sensitivity: Permanent magnet (minimum 80 MHz / 1.88 Tesla on proton) with proton sensitivity of approximately 200:1 (S/N).

No external cooling or cryogens required. - Automation: Automated sample analysis, data collection, and sample queuing with a sample changer/carousel supporting at least 20 sample tubes. - Temperature & Flow Control: Built-in temperature control (e.g., Peltier) spanning approx.

20–60 °C or 0–60 °C.

Capable of reaction monitoring with an optional, changeable flow-cell. - Software & IT: Complete software suite for collecting, analyzing, and exporting data, including all necessary licenses and interfacing cables. - Workstation & Accessories: Must include a mobile workstation, Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), and initial operation consumables (NMR tubes, reference standards, etc.)...

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.
