A -- DEVELOP AN AUTOMATED METHOD FOR LENS3 TO INTERACT SPARC SOL RFQ-99-UKE050 DUE 090399 POC Starry M. Jones, Contracting Officer, (919)541-2897 or Julio Lopez, Contracting Officer, (919)541-4474 E-MAIL: ERROR --, Jones.Starry@epa.gov. The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) intends to negotiate a sole source procurement with The University of Georgia, Department of Chemistry, 672 Chemistry Building, Athens, GA 30602 for the acquisition of the following services: (1) Linkage of the SPARC Chemical Property Estimator to the Lens3 Multi component Leaching Model and Development of a Chemical Property Database for Multi component Oils and (2) Development of a Composition Database for Selected Multi component Oils. The prototype model under development is intended to fit within the Multimedia Integrated Modeling System (MIMS) framework. The University of Georgia (UGA) is the developer of SPARC and retains control over the source code. The chemical parameter database also needs to be created by SPARC. The database is intended to be used in situations where real time linkage of SPARC is not necessary. EPA believes that The University of Georgia, Department of Chemistry is the source capable of satisfying the requirements stated above. All interested parties who believe they can provide the required service should fully explain their capabilities in writing within 15 days of the date of this announcement. No Solicitation is available. The intent of this synopsis is to determine if any sources (s) exist and, therefore, no RFP is available.
