Massbox Mass Spectrometer

Oregon State University intends to contract for the provision of a Massbox mass spectrometer from Exum Instruments INC as a sole source because of the uniqueness (design, capability, nature) of the goods and/or services. The mass spectrometer must meet the following specifications:

• Broad coverage of elemental spectrum in the periodic table from Lithium to Uranium.
• Detection limits down to 100s of ppb level.
• High-throughput analysis of up to 16 samples (size dependent) in the same session.
• Elemental Mapping up to an 83-mm-by-83-mm area with 5–200-micron resolution.
• Depth profiling of less than 100 nm per laser shot.
• Compact Instrument size • High vacuum environment after samples are loaded.
• Options for air-free sample transfer.
• 20,000Th Mass range.
• Isotopic elemental verification.

The Massbox mass spectrometer, manufactured and solely distributed through Exum Instruments, is the only equipment to meet or exceed all required specifications. An entity may appeal this determination in accordance with OSU Standard 03-010. Section 5.17 no later than the closing date indicated on the website. Appeals must be submitted to Procurement, Contracts and Materials Management at procurement@oregonstate.edu by July 16, 2025 at 4:00 pm, PST.
