Nature of Requirements:
Q Extractive Basic Mass Spectrometer (MS) System
1. Advance Contract Award Notice (ACAN)
An ACAN is a public notice indicating to the supplier community that a department or agency intends to award a contract for goods, services or construction to a pre-identified supplier, thereby allowing other suppliers to signal their interest in bidding, by submitting a statement of capabilities. If no supplier submits a statement of capabilities that meets the requirements set out in the ACAN, on or before the closing date stated in the ACAN, the contracting officer may then proceed with the award to the pre-identified supplier.
2. Definition of the requirement
National Research Council Canada has a requirement for the supply, delivery, installation of one (1) Q Extractive Basic Mass Spectrometer (MS) System. The Q Extractive Mass Spectrometer is a high performance benchtop quadrupole Orbitrap system based on the combination of Hyberbolic quadrupole technology combined with Orbitrap analyzer technique. Implementation of a quadrupole mass filter in front of the curved ion trap (C-Trap) allows for precursor ion selection and hence for Mass Spectrometer/Mass Spectrometer and Single Ion Monitoring (SIM) scan modes besides the ability of full MS mode. In addition the high sensitivity S-lens ion source, with the implementation of enhanced Fourier-Transform (FT) transient processing, further increase of scan speed and resolving power can be achieved. Together with the new and unique scan type of spectra multiplexing, where multiple preselected precursors are collect in the C-Trap for simultaneous high resolution detection in the Orbitrap, further reduction of cycle time can be accomplished.
The data analysis software package included with this purchase, will allow analysis of data from other NRC institutes utilizing the Q-Exactive MS system.
The purchase price shall include installation, training, and 1 year warranty.
3. Criteria for assessment of the Statement of Capabilities (Minimum Essential Requirements)
Any interested supplier must demonstrate by way of a statement of capabilities that its equipment meets the following requirements:
A. The system must offer multiple Scan modes including Single Ion Monitoring (SIM), Full Scan, Tandem Mass Spectrometry (MS/MS), Data independent acquisition (DIA).
B. The system must offer Orbitrap-based Fourier-Transform Mass Spectrometer (FT-MS) providing high resolution, high mass accuracy, and high sensitivity.
C. The system must analyze Mass range: 50
