    The U.S. Department of Commerce, through the NOAA Acquisition and Grants Office, is seeking to procure an Agilent 1290 Ultra-High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (UHPLC) system for the Hollings Marine Lab, with an estimated contract value of $60,000. The requirement is justified based on the compatibility of the new system with existing Agilent equipment in the lab, which includes two Agilent 1290 UHPLC systems and several older Agilent 1100 LC systems. This third UHPLC will enable advanced sample analysis and replace a two-decade-old model. The document notes that only authorized resellers of Agilent Technologies can fulfill this requirement. Market research indicated five small business resellers who can quote for Agilent equipment, but only one business carries all necessary items on their GSA Schedule. The certification provided by a Chemist within the NCCOS confirms the necessity and accuracy of this acquisition, asserting that only one source is viable for this procurement. This document exemplifies the federal acquisition processes under simplified acquisition procedures, where specific technical requirements and compatibility issues limit the competitive bidder landscape.
