66--Gas Detector System

The Environmental Protection Agency Region 7 Contracting Office is seeking information from small business vendors to supply three dual-purpose Gas Detector systems capable of detecting toxic gases at ultra-sensitive levels for both stationary monitoring and portable leak detection in demanding industrial and field environments. The required systems must be name brand or equivalent to the Honeywell SPM Flex Gas Detector, with all components and parts required to be brand new—refurbished equipment is strictly prohibited. The government retains the right to reject any submissions deemed not truly equal to the specified brand. This is a short-suspense request with a strict response deadline of June 19, 2026, at 5:00 PM Eastern Time, and all quotes must include complete technical specifications, detailed product information, photographs, and all associated costs including shipping. The solicitation is a Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 334516, and responses must be submitted through the SAM.gov portal with full compliance to the provided requirements. All submissions are to be directed to Arlo Hurst at the EPA Region 7 office in Lenexa, Kansas, with inquiries and communications handled via the provided email and phone number. The place of performance is also located in Lenexa, Kansas, and the request is officially posted with the solicitation number 68HE0726Q0023. Vendors must ensure their proposals align precisely with the technical and compliance criteria outlined, as failure to meet any requirement—including the insistence on name brand or equal products, new-only components, and full cost transparency—will result in disqualification. This is a market research initiative with no binding obligation to award a contract, but accurate and complete responses are critical to inform future procurement decisions.
