E-MAIL: U.S. EPA -- Cincinnati Contracts Management Division, roe.kathleen@epamail.epa.gov. The U.S. EPA plans to negotiate on a sole source basis with Southern Research Institute for the development of automated Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) field control procedures to complete integrated FTIR control software. USEPA Air Pollution Prevention and Control Division is developing in-house FTIR field testing and data analysis, and to facilitate this development effort, APPCD requires training and guidance in the execution of FTIR field procedures, data analysis methods, and QA procedures. The scope of this purchase order is the development of a software system which automates the execution of the field data analysis methods that will simplify/coordinate the collection and manipulation of data in the field. The Contractor shall then install the system in EPA equipment and train EPA personnel in its use. See Note 22. To the best of EPA's knowledge Southern Research Institute is unique it's knowlege and expertise in this technology to automate this process. However any firm which is capable of meeting these requirements may submit technical documentation to establish that it may comply with the statement of The RFQ is not available. (0191)
