Agilent Model 8900 QQQ Spectrometer

Agilent Model 8900 QQQ Spectrometer Project Description :BACKGROUND: See attached ACAN document for full specifications and overall performance.Notice is hereby given by the University of Ottawa of the intent to enter into a contract with Agilent Technologies Canada to procure a new or certified demo (like new) model of an 8900 QQQ ICPMS spectrometer including the mainframe, MassHunter-ready PC, the Agilent 8900 for Advanced Applications option #100, and Installation & Introduction training with CSA certification. PROCESS:Suppliers that consider their equipment functional, successfully tested, readily available and fully compliant to the ACAN minimum requirements may submit, in writing, a statement of specifications to the contact person identified in this Notice, on or before the closing date of this Notice. In the statement of specifications, the supplier must unequivocally demonstrate how their Model 8900 QQQ Spectrometer equipment, at minimum, equals, or exceeds the stated

requirements. If no other supplier submits a statement of specifications, on or before the closing date of this Notice, the competitive requirements of the University of Ottawa will be considered having been met. Following notification to any suppliers not successful in unequivocally demonstrating that their statement of specifications equals or exceeds the requirements set out in this Notice, the contract may then be awarded to the pre-identified supplier. Date of issue: March 21, 2023 Closing Date: April 5, 2023, at 3:00:00 P.M. Eastern Standard Time INTENDED USE:This spectrometer will replace the 8800 QQQ spectrometer in the existing Agilent ICPMS system that is located in the geochemistry Core Facility at the University of Ottawa. The Model 8900 QQQ spectrometer must provide for a complete system that is able to be operated seamlessly with existing Agilent sample-handling instrumentation, cooling system and all pre-existing analytical methods and databases. FUNCTIONALITY:The spectrometer, workstation and software must conform to the following Minimum Requirements: BUDGET: The instrument cost must not exceed the University’s maximum budget of $200,000.00 Canadian.
