- Description
- The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Office Acquisition Management (OAM) Cincinnati Procurement Operations Division (CPOD), intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, with Wasson-ECE Instrumentation. The applicable NAICS code is 334516. The Office of Air and Radiation, Office of Transportation and Air Quality, National Vehicle and Fuel Emissions Laboratory (NVFEL), Ann Arbor, MI, has a requirement for procurement of instruments capable of real-time measurement of ethanol from vehicles at its Ann Arbor test facility in order to meet the regulatory mission of EPA, as established in regulations set forth in 40 CFR Part 86 and California Air Resources Board test procedures for oxygenated hydrocarbon measurement, incorporated by reference in 40 CFR Part 86. One of the primary tests that are performed within the Chemistry Laboratory is the analysis of benzene and oxygenates in the fuel. Wasson-ECE Instrumentation configures Agilent gas chromatograph (GC) systems with both OFID and TCD for oxygenates and benzene analyses. Since Agilent Technologies are no longer supporting the older model gas chromatograph systems such as models 5890 and 6980 that are currently in use within our laboratory, to continue these primary tests, instruments configured with updated chromatography systems are needed. Wasson-ECE Instrumentation is the only manufacturer in the United States that is capable of configuring Agilent gas chromatograph (GC) systems with OFID and TCD for oxygenates and benzene analyses. The scope of this procurement includes the following elements:a)Two (2) Wasson-ECE instrumentation Application: 369-00 Analysis of Oxygenates, Benzene, and Toluene in Blended Motor Fuels. Should be installed with the following hardware:a.Methanizerb.O-FID Catalytic reactorc.One 6-port switching valve and one pneumatic actuatord.Necessary packed and capillary analytical columnse.Auxiliary isothermal ovenf.Necessary restrictors and fittingsg.OMI-2 indicating purifier assemblyh.Dynamic Gas Blender for O-FID carrier gas.b)Agilent 7890 Series with EPC ?

Three channels auxiliary EPCg.G3485A ? Manual Pneumatics Carrierc)Agilent 7693 Syringe AutoSamplerd)Agilent 150 Sample Tray for use with Model 7693 Auto Sampler (G4514A)e)ChemStation Upgrade required 7890A f)Agilent ChemStation Data Handling Software G2071BAg)On-Site Installationh)Trainingi)Optional: Wasson-ECE Service Tool Kit: K1006 This is not a request for proposal. However, any firm believing itself capable of meeting EPA's requirement may submit technical documentation to establish the potential of complying with the specifications. Such documentation must be submitted to the point of contact within 10 days of the posting of this notice. A determination not to compete the proposed requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered only for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement or to proceed on a sole source basis. The applicable NAICS code is 334516. Please submit your request in writing to David Boris at 26 W. Martin Luther King Dr, Cincinnati, OH, 45268 or fax your request to (513) 487-2109. No telephone requests will be honored.
