The Agricultural Research Council seeks quotations for the supply and delivery of specialty gas standards in aerosol cans. Key requirements include stable gases for calibration, specific concentrations, and compliance with administrative standards.
The Agricultural Research Council (ARC) is inviting tenders for the supply and delivery of specialty gas standards, which are essential for scientific research and development in gas chromatograph calibration. This tender encompasses the provision of six specific gas standards, including varying concentrations of methane and carbon dioxide, packaged in 5L disposable aerosol cans equipped with regulation valves for sample extraction. The gases must be stable for at least one year and should not require cylinder rental, ensuring ease of use and efficiency for the end-user.
Bidders must provide a written quotation along with essential documentation, including a valid Central Supplier Database (CSD) registration, BBBEE certificate, and tax clearance. A reference letter confirming prior supply of similar gas standards is mandatory for compliance. The evaluation will follow the 80/20 principle, where price and specific goals will influence scoring. This tender presents an opportunity for suppliers specializing in analytical gases to contribute to scientific advancements while adhering to the ARC's procurement policies.
This tender is suitable for businesses that specialize in the manufacture and supply of analytical gases, particularly those with experience in providing gas standards for laboratory calibration. Companies must have the capability to meet specific gas concentration requirements and adhere to strict quality and compliance standards.
