The U.S. Geological Survey intends to award a non-competitive purchase order to Agilent of Santa Clara, CA for a Gas Chromatograph-Mass Spectrometer headspace autosampler which will improve efficiency and expand capacity of its water-quality analytical capability. The equipment is needed by the MD-DE-DC Water Science Center's analytical lab. The headspace autosampler will be delivered within 60 days of the date the contractor receives the purchase order.
Agilent Technologies is the sole manufacturer of the autosampler needed to upgrade the existing instrument. Upgrading the existing GCMS Triple Quad through Agilent will allow for more consistent, automated sampling, reducing the risk of variability in the data, and will allow for more efficient use of staff time. The headspace autosampler available through Agilent Technologies is configured to ensure compatibility with the existing equipment and Agilent's software.

THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. The Government intends to award this requirement noncompetitively in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1).
