Clemson University's Chemistry Laboratory seeks to upgrade a Bruker D8 Diffractometer. The instrument being upgraded is a Bruker D8 Quest diffractometer. It is currently equipped with a sealed tube X-ray source with K430 generator, and a Photon 100 detector. These components are being upgraded to a Bruker Mo microfocus X-ray source and generator, and a Photon 3 detector. The items being purchased include the upgrade parts and installation. The parts and installation service must be obtained from Bruker, and performed by a Bruker service engineer for compatibility with the existing instrument. Such parts and services can only be provided by the manufacturer, and are not available through other vendors. For these reasons, this is a sole source procurement.
Any actual or prospective bidder, offeror, contractor, or subcontractor aggrieved in connection with the intended award or award of this sole source contract, shall notify the appropriate chief Procurement officer in writing of its intent to protest within five (5) business days of the date this notice is posted. Any actual or prospective bidder, offeror, contractor, or subcontractor who is aggrieved in connection with the intended award or award of this sole source contract and has timely notified the appropriate chief procurement officer of its intent to protest, may protest to the appropriate chief procurement officer in the manner set forth below within fifteen days of the date this notice is posted; except that a matter that could have been raised as a protest of the solicitation may not be raised as a protest of the award or intended award of a contract.
A protest must be in writing, filed with the appropriate chief procurement officer, and set forth the grounds of the protest and the relief requested with enough particularity to give notice of the issues to be decided. The protest must be received by the appropriate chief procurement officer within the time provided above. Days are calculated as provided in S.C. Code Ann. §11-35-310(13).
