- Description
- NAICS Code: 334519 The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Radiation and Indoor Environments (R&IE) National Laboratory, Center for Radioanalysis and Quality Assurance (CRQA) in Las Vegas, NV intends to award a sole source fixed-price purchase order using Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures to Canberra Industries, Inc. of Meriden, CT. The purpose of this acquisition is to obtain a Model LB5500 Series 5 Large Area Automatic Low Background Alpha/Beta Counting System and integrated Eclipse analysis package to extend the capabilities of the existing 50-sample, two-inch system. It has been determined that Canberra Industries, Inc. is uniquely qualified to satisfy the Government's requirement given software and hardware compatibility and system interchangeability and backup considerations. Any deviation from this requirement would require additional spectroscopy analysis hardware and software, development of custom in-house programming, reconfiguration of existing systems into split systems running different analysis software, and extensive training. In addition, market research has indicated there is no other known manufacturer that produces similar software and data archiving formats meeting these requirements that satisfy compatibility requirements with the current counting system. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 334519. NO SOLICITATION OR REQUEST FOR QUOTE (RFQ) IS AVAILABLE. Notwithstanding, any firm that believes it is capable of meeting EPA's requirement as stated herein may submit a response, which if received by the closing date of this announcement will be considered. Responses to this posting must be in writing. A determination not to compete the proposed requirement based upon the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. All questions should be directed to Jami Rodgers via e-mail at rodgers.jami@epa.gov.
