- PREPARED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FORMAT IN SUBPART 12.6, AS SUPPLEMENTED WITH ADDITIONAL INFORMATION INCLUDED IN THIS NOTICE. THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONSTITUTES THE ONLY SOLICITATION; QUOTATIONS ARE BEING REQUESTED AND A WRITTEN SOLICITATION WILL NOT BE ISSUED. This solicitation is being issued as a small business set-aside under Request for Quotation No. HCCCD-2007-39055. The NAICS is 334516 with a size standard of 500 employees. This solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-14. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Health Effects Laboratory Division in Morgantown, WV has a requirement for Gas-Phase cryogenic sampler to be connected to existing Gas Chromatograph and Gas Chromatogaph/Mass Spectrometer systems currently used in the laboratory. This is a competition limited to the Brand name products specified below from Entech Instruments as justified in accordance with FAR 6.302-1. Most products measure particulate matter, specific flue gases, and /or are self contained analysis units using infrared or catalytic technologies. The requsted equipment is compatable with systems currently used in our laboratory and with current on-going research projects using gas chromatography and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry analysis. The Entech equipment will maintain intercomparability of data/results and experimeter operation from multiple previous and on-going experiments. The specified instruments can repeatably cryogenically collect and manipulate gas-phase samples containing parts per billion or lower conentrations of volatile organic compounds used in experiments. The equipment carefully reduces background water and carbon dioxide concentrations and maintains concentrations of volitile organic compounds of interest for detection by gas chromatography and/or gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Device functions through software in an automatic and unattended operation to collect gas-phase samples and inect them onto gas chromatograph system. The devise provides the ability to change sample traps to other media such a silanized glass beads and other sorbents to optimize valatile organic compound contration and detection. Purchasing an Entech product will ensure consistency in experimmental data comparisons between multiple laboratory systems and experiments and team member experemental training. This will reduce data misinterpretation arising from alternate sample manipulation. The specific products are: CLIN 001, two each of Entech 7101A Turnkey Preconcentrator (3 stages) with modules installed (PN 01-7101A1), diaphragm pump (10-20010), 5m USB cable (12-51150) for HP 6890 Series GC; CLIN 002, two each of a Entech 3 foot heated line for direct operation with 7100 (inlets 1-4), Including tubing and 1/16 to 1/4 inch fitting for canister attachment (PN 01-09-33203); CLIN 003, installation by day-East Coast (PN /M02); CLIN 004 per diem charges per day (PN /M05); CLIN 005 airfare and travel time (PN /M07); and CLIN 006, freight charges, if applicable.
