- Description
- NOTICE OF INTENT TO ISSUE A PURCHASE ORDER. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), National Personal Protective Technology Laboratory, (NPPTL) hereby announces its intent to issue a purchase order to Ocenco, Inc. to procure Ocenco M-20 and EBA 6.5 Self Contained, Self-Rescuers (SCSR). Purpose and objective: Ther purpose of this action is to procure Ocenco M-20 and EBA 6.5 Self Contained Self-Rescuers (SCSR) for testing and evaluating, in the NIOSH Long-Term Field Evaluation. Project Background: In order to minimize the probability of SCSR failures and subsequent miner deaths, NIOSH and it predecessor has conducted a program called the Long Term Field Evaluation program (LTFE). This program has been in place since the introduction of SCSR's over 20 years. Each year, NIOSH collects deployed SCSR's from active mines across the country and replaces those devices with new units of the same model and manufacturer. The number of each type collected is determined by their portion of the total population of SCSR's in use. Replacing the collected SCSR's with units of the same kind is necessary because each manufacturer's unit operates differently and miners at that mine must be trained on the specific device. Mixing of different models of SCSR at the mine would cause confusion and increased probability of death in an emergency. The collected SCSR's are taken to the National Personnel Protective Technology Laboratory (NPPTL) where they are inspected and evaluated for their life support capacity. This program has identified many unexpected failures over the years of its operation that have resulted in massive recalls of SCSR's and improved SCSR designs. Miners' lives have been saved by units that would have likely failed if not upgraded due to the LTFE program. 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 Margaret L. Mooney, CDC NIOSH, 626 Cochrans Mill Road, Pittsburgh, PA 15236, Reference 2010-Q-12027. 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 Ocenco, Inc., 10225 82nd Street, Pleasant Prairie, WI 53158 as the only source and a purchase order will be issued without any additional notices being posted.
