- Description
- NAICS Code: 541990 The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) intends to award a purchase order, using FAR Part 13 procedures, for thermal imaging for detecting of industrial gas emissions in Crittenden County, Arkansas, and Memphis, Tennessee. This procurement, which is 100% set aside for small business, has an associated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code of 541990, with a small business size standard of $6 million. The project requires the wide area survey of numerous petrochemical and refinery facilities, pipeline corridors, and storage tank sites. Requirements of the project include the following: (1) Provide a spatial representation (image) of landscape features in the thermal region of the electromagnetic spectrum (3-13 microns). The image data must be a sufficient spatial resolution as to allow for the discernment and identification of objects in the scene. (2) In Real Time, detect the presence of gas phase hydrocarbon compounds at various concentrations and release rates. "Detect" is defined as being able to determine/isolate an object such as a plume of gas against the background. (3) Acquire the thermal imagery over large spatial regions that may include multiple targets of interest (i.e. petrochemical product units, storage tanks). (4) Provide geo-locations of the detected releases using GPS technology. The contractor shall provide personnel and equipment to support one (1) field team and one (1) airborne team. The field team shall have the necessary equipment to document all activities and have personal protective equipment for chemical plant and refineries. Team personnel shall have knowledge and experience with the sensor used for the data acquisition, including all aspects of the sensor operations and the ability to perform minor repairs and adjustments of the system while the unit is deployed. The task lead/manager shall have expertise in directing the acquisition of thermal imagery, and must also be responsible for all image analysis, geo-registration and other post processing such as product generation. Travel to the study area will be required. Period of performance will be from date of issuance of the order through four (4) months thereafter. A Request for Quotations (RFQ) with complete information will be posted on the EPA's website in approximately 15 days at the following address: http://www.epa.gov/oam/rtp_cmd/ Hard copies of the RFQ will not be available. Offerors must submit both a technical proposal and a price proposal. The technical proposal must include responses to the Technical Evaluation Criteria, which will be posted with the RFQ. In determining the best value for the government, responses to the Technical Evaluation Criteria are considered significantly more important than price. The price proposal must show a breakout of costs. All future information about this acquisition, including amendments (if any) will be distributed solely through the EPA's web site.
