- Description
- The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency [U S EPA] Environmental Sciences Division [ESD] intends to award a sole source fixed-price Purchase Order using Federal Acquisition Regulation [FAR] Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures, to UNLV Harry Reid Center, under the authority of FAR Part 6.302-1. The purpose of this acquisition is to purchase services that will include sample preparation, TEM operation and image analysis. Specialized sample preparation (thin layer) will be a possible option for this contract. This process will include casting of biological samples such as lyophilized Thamnocephalus into a polymer matrix followed by the preparation of thin sections for TEM analysis. Thin sections are typically cut with a microtome and are typically between 50 and 100 nm thick. Sample analysis will include: qualitative chemical analysis with a resolution of 10 nm using energy disperse X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), parallel energy loss spectroscopy (PEELS), and energy-filtered electron microscopy (EFTEM). The contractor will furnish the reagents including metal screens and carbon films required for sample preparation. It has been determined that UNLV Harry Reid Center is the only vendor that uniquely qualified to meet this requirement as no other institutions are available has the specialized sample preparation as required. The NAICS code for this procurement is 423490. NO SOLICITATION OR REQUEST FOR QUOTE [RFQ] IS AVAILABLE. Notwithstanding, any firm who believes it is capable of meeting EPA's requirement as stated herein may submit a response which, if received within 15 calendar days of the date of this announcement, will be considered. Responses to this posting must be in writing. A determination not to compete the proposed Purchase Order based upon the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. All questions should be directed to Kevin Broadnax via email at broadnax.kevin@epa.gov.
