Description

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.). - Service & Training: Delivery, on-site installation, operational training, and an included warranty/service plan with options for future renewals. Place of Performance/Delivery: USDA ARS Southern Regional Research Center (SRRC) 1100 Allen Toussaint Blvd New Orleans, LA 70124 Delivery Schedule: Delivery is required within 180 days after receipt of order (ARO). Set-Aside Status: Unrestricted Interested parties are responsible for monitoring SAM.gov for release of the solicitation and any subsequent amendments. One or more of the items under this acquisition is subject to the World Trade Organization Government Procurement Agreement and Free Trade Agreements.
