- Description
- The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, with the Helmholtz Zentrum München (HMGU), formerly known as Gorschungszentrum für Umwelt und Gesundheit (GSF- National Research Center for Environment and Health, GmbH), Munich, Germany, for the acquisition of data analyses and manuscript preparation. HMGU is uniquely qualified to perform the services required. HMGU performed data analyses with the EPA Office of Research and Development, National Health and Environmental Effects Research Laboratory, Environmental Public Health Division in 2006-2008 of a study in which volunteers with diabetes were studied while levels of ambient air pollution were measured at their homes. Re-analysis of these data now needs to be performed to determine whether there is a temperature-pollutant interaction that influences the results. HMGU commenced this work as visiting scientist in 2009 and has completed approximately a third of the data analyses during that time. The re-analysis of these data now needs to be completed and reports or manuscripts detailing the results prepared. HMGU has unique experience and insight into the re-analyses and interpretation of the study data and therefore the only vendor capable of satisfying this requirement at this time. The circumstance permitting use of a sole source is FAR 13.501 (a). The NAICS Code is 541712. The anticipated period of performance is 12 months. All interested parties who believe they can provide the required services should fully explain their capabilities and qualifications in writing within 15 days from the date of this announcement and provide itemized pricing that is sufficient to make a determination that competition is feasible. The intent of this synopsis is to determine if any source(s) exist, 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 10 days after the date of this publication. Submit response to the U.S. EPA, Attn: Marsha B. Johnson (E105-02), RTP Procurement Operations Division, 4930 Page Old Page Road, Durham, NC 27703 or email to Johnson.marsha@epa.gov. No telephonic or faxed requests will be honored.
