DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENTS Non-Competitive (Single-sole Source (Including Brand-Name)) Determination: The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Fire Research Division (FRD), requires a 919 Autosampler for use with its existing 930 Compact Ion Chromatograph (IC). The 919 Autosampler is specifically designed and manufactured for compatibility with the 930 Compact IC and is intended to integrate directly with the existing instrument. The 930 Compact IC is a laboratory analytical system used to separate ions and determine the concentration of the separated ions. The addition of the 919 Autosampler will increase the system's sample-processing capacity and support FRD's anticipated higher volume of sample analysis. Procuring an autosampler from a manufacturer other than Metrohm USA, Inc. presents a significant risk of incompatibility with the existing 930 Compact IC. Differences in mechanical interfaces, electronic connections, software, communications protocols, and instrument control could prevent proper installation, integration, operation, or performance.
