- Description
- Order# AG-6395-P-10-0680, Awarded to COASTAL SAFETY HEALTH SSERVICES, INC. 2 models of PortaCount Pro+ Universal Respirator Fit Testers Award Date 9/01/2010 Subject: BRAND NAME JUSTIFICATION In accordance with 6.302-1 Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. (a) Authority. (1) Citations: 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) or 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1). USDA, APHIS has used and currently owns twenty TSI PortaCount units. USDA, ARS has a unit and the DHS CDP and other organizations also use the TSI PortaCount. The selected TSI PortaCount is intended to comply with current Avian Influenza respirator fit-testing requirements but also is being purchase to comply with future biological and chemical driven respirator fit-testing concerns and/or requirements. The Respiratory Protection Program is critical to APHIS and other personnel. The four new units will be sent to Riverdale where they will be set-up and shipped to the field to fill needs at field locations that currently do not have ready access to a TSI PortaCount. Award for such a highly specialized pieces of equipment and it's components to any other source would require complete replacement of all equipment due to non compatibility with all existing equipment and lack of interchangeability, which would result in unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency's requirements and substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through such competition. Three factors deem the TSI proposal the best purchase for this equipment at this time; 1. The TSI respirator test system is the only known system equipped to test the N95 respirators used by USDA. PortaCount Pro+ Universal Respirator Fit Tester Includes: PortaCount Pro+ w/ Built-in N95-Companion, AC Adapter, Alcohol Cartridge, Alcohol Fill Capsule, Storage Cap, Two HEPA Filters, Operation & Service Manual, Alcohol Supplies, 3/16 and 1/4 Inch Hose Adapters, Two Spare Alcohol Wicks, Carrying Case, 100 Probe Sets w/ Probe Insertion Tool, FitPro Lite Test Software, Software Manual, 1 Gig USB Flash Memory Drive, USB Interface Cable. 2. APHIS currently has twenty TSI PortaCount units that are housed at are located nation-wide and sent to the field for designated trained APHIS personnel to perform respirator fit-testing with. 3. The 8038 model incorporates two units (the N95 companion and regular PortaCount) into one unit for better portability and less cables, hoses, and other apparatus. The new unit has a much better sensitivity so that fit-testing can be performed in areas that were "too clean" before. The new unit can be used with or without the laptop that the old unit required to be used. The new unit incorporated the new OSHA fit-test measurement times that will enhance and shorten the overall fit-test procedure.
