- Description
- The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Assessment and Standards Division, National Vehicle and Fuel Emissions Laboratory (NVFEL), Ann Arbor, Michigan, intends to purchase two (2) Laser Based N2O Analyzers to be used in heavy-duty engine testing site 5 and non-road testing site. The acquisition of this Commercial item will be subject to full and open competition and will be processed in accordance with FAR Parts 12 and 13. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 334516 Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing. Recently, in response to new N2O emission regulations, instrument manufacturers have developed laser based infrared spectrometers in which the source emits infrared radiation in a narrow band width. This, in turn, eliminates the opportunity for interference as the infrared wavelength emitted by the source is focused in the region where N2O absorbs. One (1) N2O analyzer will be used for continuous and batch analysis of dilute exhaust gas sampled either directly from a CVS (continuous sampling) or a Kynar bag (batch sampling). The system will be installed in Heavy-Duty Test Site 5 (HD5 - Room 425) at the NVFEL. This test site is equipped with a Horiba MEXA-7000 system for both continuous and bag analysis of criteria pollutants, and a Horiba Stars Test Cell Controller. One (1) N2O analyzer will be used for continuous dilute measurement for exhaust gas and batch sample measurement for ambient air. The system will be installed in a Non-Road Testing Site (NRSI - Room 320) at the NVFEL. The analyzer shall be identical to that of the Heavy Duty Test Site 5 unit with the exception of test cell host interface and sample measurement. The non-road engine test site has three separate test stands (Sites 13, 14 & 15). Sites 13 & 14 share a single CVS tunnel. Site 15 has a dedicated CVS tunnel. The non-road engine test site is equipped with two LabVIEW? based test cell controllers and two independent MEXA-7000 analyzer benches for each of the CVS systems. The full Statement of Work, which will be included in the solicitation, describes and sets forth the installation and analyzer requirements for the two (2) N20 analyzers. The equipment implementation described in the full Statement of Work shall allow for the integration and the ability to fully control the analyzer functions, and data collection, processing and reporting in keeping with the minimum requirements of current operations, while meeting the requirements of 40 CFR Part 1054/1065 in terms of features, performance, usage requirements, and calibration/verification requirements. Award will be made on a Best Value Basis. All non-price evaluation criteria, when combined, are significantly more important than price. Anticipated non-price evaluation criteria include demonstrated ability of the proposed system to meet or exceed the SOW requirements; past performance record under comparable contracts; and relevant corporate experience. The solicitation should be issued on or about January 7, 2014 on EPA website: http://www.epa.gov/oam/cinn_cmd. This office does not intend to mail hard copies of the solicitation. All responsible sources may submit a proposal which shall be considered by the Agency. Point of Contact for this requirement is Gerold Young, Contract Specialist, at (513) 487-2660, or by email at young.gerold@epa.gov. Questions must be submitted in writing to Gerold Young via email. Telephone queries will not be honored.
