- Description
- NAICS Code: 541690 The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) has a requirement to address the following needs regarding interpretation and analysis of passive sampling results: Compare passive PM10-2.5 concentrations with those determined by collocated FRM monitors and determinebias in the passive sampler measurements; Compare passive PM10-2.5 concentrations to satellite estimates based on aerosol optical depth (AOD); Compare results from passive samples analyzed by optical microscopy with those for collocated passive samples analyzed by SEM/EDS; Assess temporal variability of PM10-2.5 across sites; Assess spatial variability of PM10-2.5 within the Cleveland urban area, and Assess variability in PM10-2.5 chemical composition across sites. This action is being pursued on a sole source basis because Dr. Peters designed a passive sampling field study which served as a model for the recent Cleveland field study that will provide data for this requirement. Furthermore, Dr. Peters is also responsible for developing a scientific approach preliminarily estimating the PM10-2.5 variability within the Cleveland urban area based on modeling the aerosol optical depth (AOD) from historic satellite data. The same approach will be used for this requirement, as well, to provide a comparison between PM10-2.5 concentration surfaces determined by passive samplers and by AOD data. Dr. Peters expertise and working knowledge of previous projects related to this requirement establishes him as the only person that can efficiently and promptly provide the required services. NAICS Code 541690 applies with a small business size standard of $7M. The intent of this notice is to determine if any other sources(s) exist, and therefore, no solicitation (RFQ) is available. Interested parties who can meet the above requirements may submit written qualification statements fully explaining their capability no later than 15 days after the date of this publication. Consequently, anyone failing to provide the aforementioned and instead chooses to merely submit a routine letter requesting a copy of the statement of work or more information about the project will be ignored. Please submit response to the U.S. EPA, Attn: John Southerland Jr (MC-E105-02), RTP Procurement Operations Division, Research Triangle Park, NC 27711.
