- Description
- The Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, National Institute for Occupational Safety & Health (NIOSH), National Personal Protective Technology Laboratory (NPPTL) intents to award a sole source firm fixed price Purchase Order to Ocenco, Inc., for 145 M-20 (P/N 930065) and 35 EBA 6.5 (P/N 900065) Self Contained, Self-Rescuers (SCSR) for testing and evaluating, in the NIOSH Long-Term Field Evaluation. Project Background: In order to minimize the probability of SCSR failures and subsequent miner's deaths, NIOSH and its predecessor have conducted a program entitled: the Long term Field Evaluation Program (LTFE). This Program has been in place since the introduction of SCSRs (over 20 years). Each year NIOSH collects deployed SCSRs from active mines across the country and replaces those devices with new units of the same model and manufacturer. The number of each type collected is determined by their portion of the total population of SCSRs in use. Replacing the collected SCSRs with units of the same kind is required/necessary since each manufacturer's unit operates differently and miners at that mine must be trained on the specific device. Mixing of different models of SCRS at any mine would cause confusion and increase the probability of death in an emergency. The collected SCSRs are taken to NPPTL where they are inspected and evaluated for their life support capacity. This program has identified many unexpected failures over the years of operation and have resulted in recalls of SCSRs and improved SCSR design. Miner's lives have been saved by units that would likely have failed if not upgraded due to the LTFE Program. This contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) (SAP) and 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1). Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, all quotations/responses received within fifteen (15) days of the issuance of this notice will be considered by the government. A determination by the government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Any quotation/response should be emailed to James Ambrozic at eud7@cdc.gov by: 11:59 PM, 18 June, 2013..
