NASA JSC White Sands Test Facility plans to issue a Request for Quotations (RFQ) for One Ultraviolet (UV) Oxidation System, including reactor, electrical power supply, instrumentation, controls, spare parts, and related items. The UV Oxidation System shall be capable of reducing anticipated concentrations of 2000 parts per trillion (ppt) of n-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) and 450 ppt of n-nitrodimethylamine (DMN), in a 900 gallon/minute extracted groundwater flow-stream, each to less than 2 ppt. NASA JSC White Sands Test Facility intends to purchase the item from Calgon Carbon Corporation (CCC), Pittsburgh, PA. In accordance with a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, only one responsible source exists, and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. CCC is the only qualified manufacturer of UV oxidation equipment that has successfully demonstrated that their technology will destroy NDMA and DMN. This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 3:30 pm local time on March 20. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed effort on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the government. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency. An Ombudsman has been appointed.
