Title: Chromatograph System (Agilent 1260 Series GPC system) 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.
Suppliers who consider themselves fully qualified and available to provide the services/goods described herein, may submit a statement of capabilities in writing to the contact person identified in this Notice on or before the closing date of this Notice. The statement of capabilities must clearly demonstrate how the supplier meets the advertised requirements.
Definition of the Requirement: The Department of Health Canada has a requirement for a gel permeation liquid chromatography system (GPC) with preparative scale capability to perform clean-up and fractionation of high-fat samples prior to analysis by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). This is an essential step in the sample work-up procedure, to isolate the persistent organic contaminants from the lipophilic components of sample matrix. The laboratory is involved in analytical and method development programs for quantitative ultra-trace analysis of organic compounds, such as environmental contaminant residues-in complex matrices, including food and biological products.
Criteria for assessment of the Statement of Capabilities Compatibility of components and spare parts. The laboratory currently have an Agilent 1200 Series and Agilent 1100 Series GPC system. Having the same manufacturer for existing systems and the new system will minimize the inventory of spare parts and make the exchange of components/modules among instruments possible. In addition, minimal training time for current staff members will be needed.
Analytical methods and data transfer between the systems will be possible. The Agilent system will ensure there will be no need to develop new instrument methods and libraries as previously created data and methods will be compatible with the new system.
