US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis under authority of FAR 6.302-1(a) with Payton Scientific International, 476 Victoria Street, Port Perry, Ontario, Canada to provide the CYVAC II M, Cyanoacrylate Vacuum Fuming Chamber.

The CYVAC II M is required to process submitted items of evidence for latent prints. The instrument combines both a large and small vacuum cyanoacrylate chamber in one unit so expedited cases with a single piece of evidence can be processed without wasting the supplies and energy required by the larger chamber.

• Large Vacuum System
- Chamber will have a 16" opening with a 54" slide out drawer to hold evidence.
- Chamber maintains a constant temperature of 37°C
- Cyanoacrylate is accelerated to 82°C.
- Residual Cyanoacrylate vapor collector above the access door.

• Small Vacuum System
- Bell Jar Chamber will have a 12" diameter with a height 18".
- Entire cabinet heated to 37°C
- Cyanoacrylate is accelerated to 82°C.
- Residual Cyanoacrylate vapor collector.

• Each unit will have individually operated vacuum systems.
• 304 stainless steel work surface and aircraft aluminum base with baked powder coated finish.

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 334516, and the size standard is 500 Employees.
