H -- FORENSIC TESTING SERVICES SOL SP0600-97-Q-0001 DUE 103096 POC Contact L. McCants, Contract Specialist, (703) 767-9326/J. Turrisi, Contracting Officer, (703) 767-9325 Solicitation quote for forensic testing services. The unique feature of the services required is that the forensic product testing can only be satisfied by a quantitative test procedure which provides details about the exact composition ofmaterials, such as JP-4, JP-5, and JP-8, which are highly complex mixtures of different chemical compounds. The data obtained should provide information on fuel type recognition patterns, mixing ratios and concentration of particular fuels inenvironmental samples. Ultimately successful forensic testing is based on chemists' specialized knowledge and ability to discern critical patterns in the data. Standardized EPA quantitative test methods are incapable of distinguishing materials withsimilar properties such as knowledge and ability to discern critical patterns in the data. Standardized EPA quantitative test methods are incapable of distinguishing materials with similar properties such as JP-4, JP-5, and JP-8. This procurement issolicited on an other than full and open competition basis because only one source (Global Geo Chemistry Corp.) can satisfy the requirement.(0291)
