- Description
- NOTICE OF INTENT TO ISSUE A PURCHASE ORDER. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, ALOSH, Morgantown, WV, Field Studies Branch of the Division of Resporatory Disease Studies would like to issue a purchase order for the procurement of analytical services for speciated culturable fungi, bacteria (gram positive, negative, broad spectrum, and three most predominant genus identification), Actinomycetes (total: room temperature, mesophilic, and thermophilic), speciated culturable mycobacteria, and allergens (Cat, dog, two types of dust mites, and cockroach allergens) analyses of floor dust samples. NIOSH has an ongoing multi-year research program which includes investigations of building dampness, fungal contamination and respiratory health effects in office buildings and schools, for which we need to compare results across individual studies. Environmental Microbiology Laboratory has previously analyzed samples collected for studies within this program. Culturable fungi bacterial analyses have a high degree of potential variability due to a number of factors, including culture techniques, as well as enumeration and identification techniques. Differences in laboratory protocols and procedures could lead to potentially significant differences in fungal and bacterial species identification and quantification, which may affect the validity of comparison across studies. Therefore, it is very important that we keep the same laboratory (Environmental Microbiological Laboratory) to obtain comparable results using consistent methods across individual studies within the program. This notice is issued for informational purposes only. Any interested party must demonstrate in writing their ability to meet the requirements outlined above to the contracting officer no later than fifteen (15) days from the date of this announcement. Submit information to Rebecca Mullenax, Reference: 000HCCHB-2007-41538, DHHS/PHS/CDC/NIOSH/ALOSH, 1095 Willowdale Road, Morgantown, WV 26505 or Fax to 304-285-6083 or e-mail RMULLENAX@CDC.GOV. The intent of this synopsis is to determine if any sources exist, therefore, no solicitation will be issued. A determination by the Contracting Officer not to compete this action is solely within the discretion of the Government. If no responses are received within 15 days, award will be made to Environmental microbiology Laboratory, Inc. without further notices being issued. All responses received shall be considered by the Government. Original Point of Contact Rebecca Mullenax, Purchasing Agent, Phone 304-285-5880, Fax 304-285-6083, Email RMULLENAX@CDC.GOV.
