- Description
- Notice of Intent. The U. S. Customs Service (USCS)intends to solicit and award an order to Barringer Instruments, Inc., 30 Technology Drive, Warren, NJ 07059-5166 for a dual narcotics and explosives screening system, the GC-IONSCAN. Barringer Instruments is the only company who has integrated gas chromatography and ion mobility spectrometry into a scientific instrument capable of field usage. This will allow USCS to conduct large-scale operations in a field environment while maintaining scientific credibility associated with a laboratory environment. The unit also has a solid phase sampling and desorption system which will replace liquid extraction routinely used in gas chromatographic analyses, thereby saving time and resources in chemical sampling and analyses. Having the equipment available at the port of entry to conduct the analyses in real time will expedite the number of samples taken and enable U. S. Customs scientists to take appropriate actions in the event of high readings of carcinogenic pesticides or other trace chemicals. This requirement will be processed under the authority of 41 USC 253(c)(1), ony one responsible source, and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. No telephone requests.
