Identification of the agency and the contracting activity: US Environmental Protection Agency, Superfund RCRA Regional Procurement Operations Division, Emergency Response Service Center. 2. Nature and/or description of the action being approved. Purchase of Ludlum Digital Scaler / Ratemeters, Pancake Detectors and Zinc Sulfide Scintillators for the US EPA Emergency Response Team. 3. A description of the supplies or services required to meet the Agency?s needs (including the estimated value). 13 each of the Ludlum Digital Scaler / Ratemeter with RS-232 data output Model 2241-3, 13 each of the Ludlum Pancake Detector Model 44-9, and 13 each of the Ludlum Zinc Sulfide Scintillator Model 43-90. 4. An identification of the statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition. The exemption applicable to this procurement is FAR Part 6, subpart 6.302-1 ?Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy Agency requirements.? 5. A demonstration that the proposed contractor?s unique qualifications or the nature of the acquisition requires use of the authority cited. Purchase of this equipment is necessary to provide the agency with radiological response readiness capability for measuring exposure rates and performing contamination monitoring. The Ludlum equipment is required in order to be compatible with the EPA Rapid Assessment Tool software currently being supported by the EPA Environmental Response Team. It would be cost-prohibitive to purchase other equipment which would require purchase of other software. Data from these systems will be able to be incorporated together easily with data from other EPA radiological detection and data logging systems to provide spatial representation of contaminated areas by standardizing of equipment from one manufacturer. 6. A description of efforts made to ensure that offers are solicited from as many potential sources as is practicable, including whether a notice was or will be publicized as required by Subpart 5.2. A combined synopsis/solicitation is posted on FBO in order to allow for maximum competition.
