RFQ-PR-R4-13-00415 ITEM: Entech 7200 Preconcentrator and Entech 7650 Autosampler System, in accordance with the Specification at the end of this solicitation/synopsis. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial services/items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation to be issued for proposals and a written solicitation will not be issued. PAPER COPIES OF THIS SOLICITATION WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE. This solicitation is issued as a Commercial Solicitation using Simplified Acquisition Procedures found in FAR Part 13. The NAICS code is 334516. The Government intends to award a purchase order resulting from this solicitation on a sole source basis to Entech Instruments, Inc., since it is the only qualified vendor for providing the system identified above and in the specifications at the end of this document, which will accurately analyze whole air samples from software-controlled sample volumes and provides an extended range of sample sizes from 0.01 to 1000 cc by splitting flows using mass flow controllers, and can heat the samples during analysis for better recovery of less volatile analytes. Its proprietary robotics hardware greatly reduces the possibility of sample cross-contamination, and is able to physically connect and communicate with EPA SESD?s existing Entech 7016 autosampler and proprietary SmartLab 2A software. If any other company contends that it is capable of providing the required system, it must notify the Contracting Officer, Sharyn Erickson, no later than 1:00 P.M., Sep. 5, 2013, at [email protected], with an explanation of the basis for its being qualified and able to provide the required instrument.
