- Description
- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) intends to conduct negotiations on a sole source basis with the University of California, San Diego, 9500 Gilman Drive, La Jolla, CA 92093. The objective of the contract is to provide support to National Institute for Occupational Health and Safety (NIOSH) in the development and management of a collaborative project entitled the "End-of- Service Life Indicators Using Porous Si Photonic Crystals". The contractor will provide support to NIOSH for the development of chemical sensors used for the end-of-service life application in personal protective equipment. These devices will be produced by applying nano technology that has been studied and matured over the past ten years. The system will utilize photonic crystals made from silicon which are etched with precise nanometer diameter channels. These crystals are capable of collecting organic vapors which can be related to breakthrough and thus reduction of protection to wearers of personal protective equipment. This notice is for informational purposes only. The solicitation documents are not available. Responsible sources that believe they posses the expertise and capabilities identified above should submit to the Contracting Officer within 15 days from the posting date of this notice their capabilities statement and supporting information in the format they choose. Please forward capabilities and supporting information to: Mary Pat Shanahan, CDC, NIOSH, 626 Cochrans Mill Road, Pittsburgh PA 15236, mpu0@cdc.gov. If no affirmative responses are received then negotiations will be conducted with the University of California.
