- Description
- Notice of Intent: The USDA, ARS, MSA intends to award a sole source procurement to Evoqua Water Technologies, LLC, 2600 Commerce Square Drive, Irondale, AL. 35210, as they are the sole source for this type of ultraviolet light water system pursuant to the authority of 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy agency Requirements. The award will be for a high-intensity ultraviolet light water treatment system that functions to destroy residual chlorine in municipal water used for rearing freshwater aquatic animals. Our research requires water to contain less than 15 ppb total chlorine. The system will receive municipal water that has first undergone some level of dechlorination using carbon-based filtration. Accordingly, the system must feature a pre-filter to remove particulate to remove contaminants that could block the ultraviolet path which could prevent or reduce chlorine destruction. The system design will need to operate over a wide range of flow rates and should be capable of destroying virtually all chlorine species at a flow range of 25 gpm to 60 gpm. The system must be capable of reducing chlorine levels from an inlet range of 50-70 ppb to 1-15 ppb at the outflow. It is a requirement that the ultraviolet system be automated and be capable of unattended overnight operation. Evoqua Water Technologies is the sole source of this type of ultraviolet light-based chlorine destruction system that can satisfy all of the above criteria and meet our research requirements. The Government intends to award a firm fixed price Purchase Order on or about June 17, 2016, using Simplified Acquisition Procedures. This Notice of Intent is not considered a Request for Quotation (RFQ) nor is it a Request for Proposals (RFP). No solicitation document is available and telephone requests will not be honored. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to this requirement. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. The Government will consider all responses received by 4:00PM central time, June 16, 2016. Information received will be considered solely for determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Inquiries will only be accepted via mail to the Contracting Officer at the following address: Contracting Office Address: USDA-ARS-SEA 141 Experiment Station Road Stoneville, MS. 38776-0225
