THIS IS A COMBINED SYNOPSIS/SOLICITATION FOR COMMERCIAL ITEMS PREPARED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FORMAT IN SUBPART 12.6, AS SUPPLEMENTED WITH
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION INCLUDED IN THIS NOTICE. THIS ANNOUNCEMENT
CONSTITUTES THE ONLY SOLICITATION; QUOTES ARE BEING REQUESTED AND A
WRITTEN SOLICITATION WILL NOT BE ISSUED. The solicitation number is
PM0039 and the solicitation is being issued as a Request for Proposal
solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those
in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 97-15. The Environmental
Protection Agency anticipates that the contract will be awarded to Met
One Instruments as a result of this solicitation. A firm-fixed-price
purchase order is anticipated to result from the award of this
solicitation. This procurement is NOT a total small business set aside
and the SIC No. is 3829 with a size standard of 500 Employees. This
procurement is not a follow-on to a prior contract. This acquisition is
for the delivery, FOB Destination, of three Sequential PM2.5
Speciation, 4-channel Samplers. The delivery locations are two samplers
to Tampa, FL 33605, and one to Las Vegas, NV 89119. The EPA, Office of
Air Quality Planning and Standards is currently assisting states in
implementing the National PM2.5 Chemical Speciation network. State and
local agencies are expected to have around 300 Speciation samplers in
the fully-implemented network. A number of state and local agencies
are interested in the purchase and use of a recently developed
sequential Speciation sampler available from Met One Instruments. This
sampler is not available under the National PM Sampler Contract.
States are interested in using samplers of this type in the National
Speciation trends network in order to reduce the burden on field
operators by providing automated sequential versus manual sampling.
Since data consistency and quality are a necessity for the National
network, we have a need to evaluate the acceptability of this sampler's
use for the Speciation trends program. Three MetOne sequential sampling
devices must be acquired. The number of samplers is necessary to
support a determination of precision (collocated pair) and to evaluate
the sampler under various climatological and environmental conditions.
The requirement is to provide 4 line items: 1) Three (3) ea. Sequential
PM2.5 Specialtion Samplers -- 4 channel, PN SSASS, 2) Three (3) ea.
Additional 4 sampling channels for each of above SSASS, PN SSASS-1, 3)
Three (3) O-Ring Sets for Canister, PN 8657, and 4) Three (3) O-Ring
Sets for Cyclone, PN 8658. The foregoing electrical equipment must be
listed and labeled by a third party listing agency approved by the
North Carolina Building Code Council. (List of agencies available upon
