These technical capabilities are inherent to the Applied Spectra LIBS and no other equipment will satisfy Government requirements. This Notice of Intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however interested parties may identify their interests and capability to respond to this requirement by 10:00 AM EST, 1 August 2013, by e-mail to Ashley.m.north@usace.army.mil. A determination by the Government not to compete the contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
