NAICS Code: 541990 The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency intends to negotiate a sole source purchase order with North Carolina State University/State Climate Office, 1005 Capability Drive, Room 240, Raleigh NC 27695 to develop and complete meteorological modeling applications using collected data and model developments made during FY01 and FY02 for local-scale linkage to support human exposure modeling for the RTP, NC, New York City, and Baltimore City areas. Measurements from EPA and the contractor's meteorological measurement systems, which must provide a comprehensive data inventory for North Carolina, among other locations, shall be used to support an evaluation of the meteorological model linkage to the local scale. EPA believes that NC State's State Climate Office is the only source capable of providing the required products and services. The circumstance permitting Other than Full and Open Competition Justification is FAR 6.301-2, "Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements". The period of performance is expected to be from March 2004 through January 2005. All interested parties who believe they can provide the required services should fully explain their capabilities and qualifications in writing within 15 days from the date of this announcement. The intent of this synopsis is to determine if any source(s) exist and, therefore, no RFQ is available. Consequently, any response(s) failing to provide the aforementioned data but instead choosing to merely submit a routine letter requesting a copy of the RFQ will not be honored. Submit your response to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, RTP Procurement Operations Division (E105-02), Attn: Rebecca Clausen, Research Triangle Park, NC 27711 or e-mail [email protected].
