- Description
- NAICS Code: 541710 The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has a requirement for development of a separation method for the enantiomers and isomers of several pyrethroid pesticide compounds and delivery of 100 mg of each compound for which separation is found to be achievable. This procurement is non-commercial, and will be made as a small business set-aside. The resulting order will support human exposure studies in the area of pesticide method development. Due to the complexity of these molecules, each is present in commercial products in several isomer and enantiomer forms. In order to correctly quantitate the isomers, it is necessary to have a reference standard of known concentration or composition. Currently, these standards and information are not known to be available. Single enantiomer standards are crucial for method development activities to determine the elution order from chromatographic columns. The information regarding enantiomer elution order is also imperative for calculating enantiomer fractions, comparing data to that of other researchers, and comparing separations between columns and conditions. A quality assurance project plan (QAPP) shall be provided by the contractor for this project within one month of project award. The QAPP must follow "Guidance for Quality Assurance Project Plans EPA QA/G-5" found at http://www.epa.gov/quality/qs-docs/g5-final.pdf. Then, the contractor shall begin experiments to develop methods to separate the enantiomers and isomers of pyrethroid pesticides. Table 1 lists the compound names, number of enantiomers to be separated, and number of isomers to be separated for each compound. Figure 1 shows the chemical structure of each compound with chiral centers marked with an asterisk. Compounds for separation shall be purchased or synthesized by the contractor. The contractor shall deliver an achievable separation list of containing the names of enantiomers and isomers that will be delivered to the project officer. Then, the contractor will proceed with the final separation, purification, and identification of the compounds. The associated NAICS code is 541710 "Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering and Life Sciences" with a small business size standard of 500 employees or less. EPA anticipates a firm-fixed price award. The RFQ will be issued approximately 12/14/04, and will be available at http://www.epa.gov/oam/rtp_cmd. It will be your responsibility to frequently check the site where the solicitation is posted for any amendments. Quotations will be due 40 calendar days after the RFQ is issued. Offerors will be evaluated based upon price and technical factors, including past performance, with technical more important than price.
