GC-MS Systems

PWGSC on behalf of DRDC Suffield intends to purchase three gas
chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) systems to support
national defence efforts and conduct R&D experiments in
Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosive
(CBRNE) preparedness and response.

Each GC-MS system will be composed of a gas chromatograph (GC),
a mass spectrometric (MS) detector, a carrier gas supply, a
vacuum pumping method, sample introduction
accessories/consumables and associated GC-MS spectral libraries.
The successful proposal must include warranty/service agreement
on all three GC-MS systems. The period of this agreement will be
for four years and will include 1 preventive maintenance visit
per year. Please note that the three systems may be located at
up to three different locations within Canada. Warranty/service
agreement must include parts, labor, transportation and
accommodation costs.  All limited-life parts must be able to be
serviced and/or replaced by trained DND operators or technicians
wherever the GC-MS systems are deployed.

The successful proposal must include installation, validation
and a minimum of three days on-site instrument familiarization
at DRDC Suffield. Validation of the systems will include GC-MS
performance acceptance using DRDC Suffield supplied test
compounds.

Mandatory March 31, 2013 delivery required.
