The solicitation number is 68HE0B26Q0058, and it was posted on April 29, 2026, with a response deadline of May 8, 2026, at 7:30 PM Eastern Time. This presolicitation action indicates the agency's intent to award the contract without competitive bidding due to the unique technical specifications and proprietary nature of the item, which is only available from this single vendor.

The contract will be managed by the EPA’s office located in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, with no specific place of performance details provided.

There is no set-aside designation identified for small businesses or other categories, meaning the contract is open for consideration solely based on the requirement for the proprietary item. All interested parties must review the attached item description for detailed specifications, as the justification for sole sourcing hinges entirely on the technical uniqueness of the Dual Syringe Dual Inlet Kit and its irreplaceable role in the agency’s operational capabilities.
