Benchtop Optical Emission Spectrometer

Argonne National Laboratory, a DOE contractor, seeks to procure a benchtop optical emission spectrometer for its Lemont, IL facility. The instrument must be capable of analyzing metals and other elements with high precision. Key requirements include a wavelength range covering 165-900 nm, detection limits below 1 ppm for most elements, and software for data analysis. The contract is a firm-fixed-price purchase. No specific certifications or set-asides are mentioned. The value is not disclosed, but based on the equipment type, it likely falls in the $100k-$1M range.
