- Description
- NOTICE OF INTENT TO ISSUE A PURCHASE ORDER. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Personal Protective Technology Laboratory (NPPTL), Policy and Standards Development Branch (PSDB), hereby announces its intent to issue a purchase order to Bruker Optics Inc. to provide one (1) Spectrometer - FT-IR spectrometer TENSOR 27. The Bruker Optics TENSOR 27 spectrometer is required to perform measurement of sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) within the SF6 chamber at the PSDB Inward Leakage Lab at NIOSH in Morgantown, WV. A FT-IR Spectrometer is required to continuously and consistently measure the (potentially very low) in-mask and (potentially very high) outside of chamber SF6 concentrations within the SF6 Inward Leakage Laboratory chamber that PSDB is currently constructing in Morgantown, WV. After an exhaustive search, it has been determined that this FT-IR method of analysis is not affected by fluctuations in O2 levels that would exist when measuring in-mask SF6 concentrations (due to the subject's breathing) and has the detection limits required to measure the desired lowest IL levels of 0.0001%. As such, this SF6 analysis method is the only one suited for the application for which it is intended to be used. 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 2012-Q-14689. 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 Bruker Optics, Inc., 19 Fortune Drive, Billerica, MA 01821 as the only source and a purchase order will be issued without any additional notices being posted.
