The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price purchase order to Agilent Technologies, Inc. for a Liquid Chromatograph (LC) coupled with an Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer (ICP-MS). This procurement involves the Agilent 1260 Infinity III LC and the Agilent 7900 ICP-MS to ensure a fully integrated system compatible with the MassHunter software platform currently utilized within the Respiratory Health Division/Field Studies Branch laboratories in Atlanta, Georgia. The equipment is classified under NAICS 334516 Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing and PSC 6640 LABORATORY EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES.
The required Agilent system facilitates seamless integration with established analytical workflows, instrument control, and data analysis without requiring modifications to existing methods or retraining personnel. Market research indicated that while other vendors offer similar analytical capabilities, their systems do not integrate with the existing MassHunter software environment. Selection of a non-compatible system would necessitate the revalidation of analytical methods and increase the risk of operational downtime. Additionally, alternative systems identified during market research were approximately $100,000 higher in cost while lacking equivalent operational efficiency for the agency's current infrastructure.
This special notice, identified as solicitation number 98130, is not a request for competitive quotations. However, the government will consider all responses received by June 13, 2026, at 10:00 AM EST to determine whether a competitive procurement is warranted. The primary point of contact for this action is Iris Gonzalez. The CDC is exercising the authority to negotiate with only one source to maintain continuity of operations and consistent data processing across its laboratory platforms.
