The vehicles and engines will be used for EPA?s in-use testing program and several other programs. EPA believes that URS, with its experience in working the current contract, is uniquely qualified for this short term additional effort and URS is the only responsible source able to perform this 1-month effort due to its combination of expertise, knowledge of the equipment and facilities, and familiarity with the data for ongoing projects required to meet EPA?s critical deadlines. THIS NOTICE IS NOT A REQUEST FOR QUOTATIONS. However, any firm believing itself capable of meeting this EPA requirement must submit technical documentation to establish its assertion. This documentation must be submitted to the POC within 15 days of the electronic posting of this notice. Telephone requests will not be honored. A determination not to compete the proposed requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the EPA. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement or to proceed on a sole source basis. The anticipated award date is June 27, 2013.
