66 -- LASER DIFFRACTION PARTICLE SIZE ANALYZER SOL C600760T1 POC Contact Point, Richard Makepeace, (513)366-2044, Contracting Officer, Richard Makepeace, (513)366-2044 The Subsurface Protection and Remediation Division of the EPA's National Risk Management Research Laboratory has a need for a particle size analyzer to expand our current capability to measure environmental particles of research interest in the size range of up to 1000 microns. The system must be capable of self-calibration and analyze small sample volumes. Additionally, the instrument must be relatively easy and fast to use and have flexibility in graphical output for publication and analysis purposes. The full range of performance specifications for the Laser Diffraction Particle Size Analyzer will be found in the solicitation which is expected to be released in late July, 1996. Proposals will be due in late August. The EPA anticipates a firm fixed price type contract. Requests for this proposal must be in writing. Facsimile requests may be sent to (513) 366-2004. Sorry, no telephone requests will be honored. (0194)
