Description

NOTICE: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) is issuing the following Brand-Name/Exact Match only Request for Quote (RFQ) for the Perkin Elmer Avio 3000 Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometer (ICP-OES) per the attached requirements list and is prepared in accordance with the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) Part 12, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this effort is 334516. This requirement is a total small business set-aside. Only quotes submitted by small business concerns will be accepted by the Government. Any quote that is submitted by a contractor that is not a small business concern will not be considered for award. The small business size standard is 1000. The Department of Energy has accepted the deviations of RFO Part 12. BRAND NAME JUSTIFICATION: This brand name justification is written under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 3304 (a)(5) as implemented by Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) 11.204(a)(1). NETL currently utilizes the Perkin Elmer ICP-OES for conducting ongoing analysis research for the NETL Pittsburgh Analytical Lab. The Perkin Elmer Avio 3000 ICP-OES has a next-generation BSI-CMOS Detector and UV Boost Mode. The proprietary detector allows full spectral coverage with independent per-analyte integration times measured simultaneously. The integrated UV Boost Mode significantly amplifies sensitivity in the UV region for elements with weak emission lines. This capability is critical for NETL researchers who must measure challenging, low-concentration analytes in highly complex environmental and materials matrices. Given NETL’s prior use of this instrument and in an effort to ensure continuity and compatibility to ensure new data is comparable with historical data this brand name/exact match is required. The following clauses apply to this acquisition: FAR Clause 52.212-1, Instructions of Offerors-Commercial Products and Commercial Services (DEVIATION NOV 2025) FAR Clause 52.212-4, Contract Terms and Conditions-Commercial Products and Services (DEVIATION NOV 2025) A full list of applicable provisions and clauses is available in FedConnect.
