DESCRIPTION
A government authority in Cincinnati, Ohio seeks a vendor to provide a complete PFAS analysis system for testing wastewater, industrial discharges, solids, and biosolids in accordance with USEPA Method 1633. The requirement includes purchase, delivery, installation, training, and maintenance of an ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography system with tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS).
The system must include diagnostic logging for all LC/MS/MS components, operation across a pH range of 2 to 10, compatibility with two 240V outlets, wheeled tables, access to the NIST library and library search capabilities, and data export compatible with LabWorks LIMS. Required autosampler capabilities include injection volumes from at least 0.1 to 20.0 µL, expandable to 1000.0 µL with optional extension loops, overlapped injections where available, self-flushing and needle-wash functions, and controlled analytical column temperatures.
The HPLC system must support operating pressures of at least 1,200 bar, flow rates from 0.010 to 2.000 mL/min, binary mobile-phase gradient elution, integrated vacuum solvent degassing, and programmable flow ramping. The tandem mass spectrometer must provide fully automated mass calibration and mass resolution, as well as automated optimization of instrument parameters including gas pressures and collision energies. Questions must be submitted by August 19, 2026, and proposals are due August 26, 2026.
