- Description
- The Great Smoky Mountains National Park (GRSM) of The National Park Service (NPS) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis (IAW FAR 6.302) with The University of Illinois, 506 S. Wright St, 364 Henry Admin bldg., Urbana, IL 61801-3620 as the only responsible source that can provide services to provide four week composite samples for Methyl Mercury analysis from Elkmont (TN11) as dictated by the Mercury Deposition Network Program Procedures. This will provide for the analysis of a total of 65 samples over a 5 year period (13 samples per year). Twenty six weekly samples for Total Mercury and Methyl mercury analysis from Clingmans Dome (TN12) as dictated by the Mercury Deposition Network Procedures. This will provide for the analysis of a total of 130 weekly samples over a 5-year period (26 weekly samples per year) and 30, 4-week Methyl mercury samples over a five year period. T he NPS has initiated a long-term contract specifically with University of Illinois for support of analytical services to its long-term Mercury Deposition Network Monitoring Program. Use of this single vendor for this park and measurements are necessary for consistency across the national mercury monitoring network program. Separating water samples and sending them to separate contractors would add unreasonable costs. Deviation from this established program will invalidate the data set as it may be inconsistent with the approved vendor methods. Informal market information was evaluated in the selection of University of Illinois by the national network thus a park specific vendor assessment was not necessary. The intended procurement will be classified under North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) 541380 with a Small Business Size Standard of $15M. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation document exists for this requirement. However, parties interested in responding to this notice shall submit technical data, including cost, sufficient to determine capability in providing the same services. All capability statements received by closing of this notification of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete based on 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. Based on the above information, the only organization known which can provide technically acceptable services is The University of Illinois. Submit email capability statements (using PDF, MS Word, Excel attachments) To: Laurie Sherrod, Contract Specialist. Email laurie_sherrod@nps.gov. Fax capability statements may be sent to 865-436-1220 Attn: Laurie Sherrod. Email statements are preferred. Statements are due not later than 1:00 P.M. EST on 30 Mar 2015. No phone calls accepted.
