- Description
- The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency?s Office of Superfund Regional Procurement Operations Division intends to award a sole source firm-fixed priced Purchase Order for a VOC Concentrator. The intent is to issue the Purchase Order to Entech Instruments Inc. at 2207 Agate Court, Simi Valley, VA 93065. Entech Instruments Inc. is the requested source as explained from the Program Office: The VOC Concentrator will need to be fully comparable to the existing laboratory instrumentation to allow transfer and reproducibility of methods from one instrument to another. An Entech 7200 VOC Concentrator is the only instrument that can fill this requirement because the existing VOC laboratory concentrator system is an Entech 7200. Instrument compatibility is critical to ensure continuity of operations if one of our other instruments were to fail, as can easily be the case with highly engineered laboratory instrumentation. Seamless, transparent electronic communication is necessary between and among the platform of instrumentation (Entech) that is currently in operation in the EPA NERL HEASD VOC Laboratory. Introducing other vendor instrumentation would only hinder this requirement if not make it impossible. In addition, the EPA NERL HEASD VOC laboratory research supports and informs the decisions of laboratories in the EPA Regions, and the majority of those laboratories are using Entech platforms for their VOC systems. Introducing other vendor instrumentation at this time would hinder our ability to answer questions and provide assistance to the laboratories in the Regions and also in the general VOC monitoring community that consists of both state and private laboratories. No solicitation or Request for Quote was made available to the public for the reasons as previously stated. Should you have questions pertaining to this award decision, please forward an email to the attention of Michael Barton at Barton.michael@epa.gov as the primary POC. No phone calls will be accepted. Purchase Order will be awarded 5 days from this notice.
