- NOTICE OF INTENT TO ISSUE A PURCHASE ORDER. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Pittsburgh Research Laboratory, hereby announces its intent to issue a purchase order to North Carolina State University (NCSU) to complete recommended objectives including an interlaboratory study and to continue support of the ASTM standard development process. This research effort was initiated in FY2004. Since inception significant work has been completed by NCSU and an apparatus that measures stored thermal energy capacity in structural fire fighting composites has been developed. In addition, an ASTM test method is in the final stages of being accepted by the F23 Committee and then will be published as a standard. The Contractor shall use the following specific steps as part of their investigations: 1. Acquire and upgrade the two existing testing apparatus to comply with recently added requirements in the draft ASTM standard. 2. Conduct a round robin with three of more labs. 3. Submit two drafts of the standard to ASTM. 4. Add to the data set reported in the Fire Protection Research Foundation report entitled "Thermal Capacity of Fire Fighter Protective Clothing." 5. Document study findings in a final technical report and support report during NIOSH peer-review process. This project is supported by justification for other than full and open competition to North Carolina State University, under authority of 41 U.S.C.253(c)(1). Responsible sources that believe they possess the expertise and capabilities identified above are encouraged to submit to the Contracting Officer within 15 days from the posting date of this notice, their written item description/item characteristics and pricing information in the format they choose, not to exceed 10 pages. Please forward the item description and pricing information to Denise Rains, Purchasing Agent, Reference: 000HCCLG-2009-70362, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Acquisition and Assistance Field Branch (Spokane), 315 East Montgomery Avenue, Spokane, WA 99207. Email dgr8@cdc.gov. All vendors must be registered in the Central Contractor Registry (CCR) prior to an award of a federal contract. The website is: www.ccr.gov. The Government will review any/all item descriptions and pricing information submitted and determine if other qualified sources do exist that could provide this requirement. Information received in response will be used solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. If no affirmative responses are received within 15 days, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), negotiations will be conducted with North Carolina State University as the only source and a purchase order will be issued without any additional notices being posted.
