- Description
- NAICS Code: 334516 In accordance with FAR Part 13 and FAR Part 12, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Transportation and Air Quality (OTAQ) in Ann Arbor, Michigan is looking to upgrade or replace its existing Nicolet NEXUS 670 FTIR with a system that has the following capabilities: 1) The system must have a sample inlet system comparable to modal automotive test systems with automated pressure control, flow compensation, and adequate sample conditioning with respect to water removal. 2) The system must be able to simultaneously continuously measure the following species: CO, CO2, NO, NO2, CH4, H2O, acetylene, ethylene, ethane, propylene, 1,3-butadiene, n-pentane, iso-pentane, n-octane, aromatic hydrocarbons, methanol, SO2, N2O, NH3, formaldehyde, and ethanol. 3) The system must contain multipoint (greater than 8) calibration curves for each of the above species, generated during the manufacturing process, prior to system delivery. 4) The system must offer the ability to perform system calibration on site for future system maintenance through the use of the system calibration software. This software must also have the ability to self generate calibration curves from a source such as a gas divider, although the gas divider need not be included in the system. 5) The system must have a graphical interface similar to that of other automotive test systems. The interface must be very used friendly to allow technicians to perform daily zero span checks and periodic system calibration with minimal training and minimal user interaction. The interface shall also minimize user interaction when performing exhaust measurements during testing utilizing digital start/stop functions. 6) The FTIR control computer should come with 15" flat panel monitor instead of CRT monitor and optical mouse in place of rollerball mouse. 7) Given the location EPA would like to place the control computer, a 35 to 40 foot control cable to run from the control computer to the FTIR will be required. 8) As an option, EPA would like 4 additional heated component controllers (for additional lines, filters, etc.) built into the 19" system rack with accommodations for either J or K type thermocouples. The EPA has the following additional requirements with regard to the system: 1) Pre-acceptance of the system must be performed off site at the contractors facility 2) The contractor must commission the system on site at EPA. 3) Two days of training must be included in the purchase price. 4) The system must contain 16 freely assignable analog outputs. 5) The system must come with a heated sample filter and 12 foot heated line. 6) Delivery must take place by 12/31/03. This procurement is subject to full and open competition. The applicable NAICS code is 332912 with a size standard of 500 employees. The request for quote is anticipated to be issued by September 16, 2003. Parties interested in receiving a copy of the RFQ should fax a request to Mr. David Plagge at (513) 487-2107 or send an e-mail to plagge.david@epa.gov . All responsible sources may submit a proposal which shall be considered by the agency.
