Description

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA), Air Pollution Prevention and Control Division, intends to negotiate on a sole source basis, under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, with TSI Incorporated for a Particle Counting and Sizing Equipment upgrade. This equipment is used to measure the particle size distributions (PSDs) of fine particulate matter in combustion flue gases. The Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer (SMPS) upgrade components must allow the SMPS to measure the PSD over a particle diameter range of 0.02 to 0.8 um and be compatible with an existing TSI, Inc. Aerodynamic Particle Sizing (APS) system designed to measure PSDs over the range of 0.5 to 20 um diameter. Both systems must be capable of using the same particle sampling system and computer data acquisition system with compatible software. The combined SMPS/APS system must produce a PSD over the range of 0.02 to 20 um diameter approximately once every 5 minutes. This is not a request for quotation. However, any firm believing itself capable of meeting EPA requirements may submit technical documentation to establish the potential of complying with the specifications. Such documentations must be submitted to the point of contact within 15 days of electronic 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 solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitve procurement or to proceed on a sole source basis.
