- Description
- The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) intends to negotiate a sole source purchase order under the authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures to University of North Carolina, Systems-Proteomics Core Facility, 438 Taylor Hall, Mason Farm Road, Chapel Hill, NC 27599 for 24 serum samples to be processed for protein modifications (specifically protein oxidaton), each undergoing purification steps (depletion of Albumin and Imunoglobulins) and electrophoresis of four 2-d gels per sample, resulting in processing of a total of 96 2-D gels. These 24 samples will include control WKY rats and those exposed to Libby Amphibole asbestos fibers at 7-day and exposed to ozone and/or diesel exhaust to determine commonality in vascular effect. At each time there will be plasma samples from 3 saline controls, 3 low-dose Libby Amphibole, 3 high dose Libby amphibole and 3 diesel exhaust or ozone exposed rats. A report of how the experiment was run, and all pertinent data on differences in protein oxidation and their identifications for each sample submitted to EPA. A report on what modifications were observed and what are the technical methods used is requested. The EPA has identified University of North Carolina Systems-Proteomics Core Facility the only vendor capable of satisfying this requirement. The circumstance permitting is FAR 6.302-1, Only one Responsible Source. The intent of this notice is to determine if any other source(s) exist, and therefore, no solicitation (RFQ) is available. Consequently, any response failing to provide the aforementioned data and instead choosing to merely submit a routine letter requesting a copy of the RFQ will be ignored. The information received in response to this notice will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct a competitive procurement. Interested parties may submit written qualification statements, fully explaining their capability, no later than 15 days after the date of this publication. Submit your response: to the U.S. EPA, Attn: Pamela E. Smith by fax (919)685-3178; or, by e-mail at: Smith.Pamela@epa.gov. No telephone or faxed requests will be honored.
