Infinity XE6020 Nitrogen Generator with a One-Year Complete Plan 48/72 Maintena

The Environmental Protection Agency, through its National Enforcement Investigations Center in Washington DC, is pursuing a sole-source procurement under FAR Part 12 for an Infinity XE6020 Nitrogen Generator accompanied by a one-year Complete Plan 48/72 Maintenance Agreement. This acquisition is justified under FAR Subpart 12.102(a) due to the absence of commercially viable alternatives, as the generator is required as a direct replacement for aging equipment supporting critical forensic analyses related to PFAS and pesticide casework. The system must deliver a continuous, high-purity nitrogen supply to ensure uninterrupted operation of analytical instruments essential for civil and criminal enforcement activities. The contract is structured as a firm-fixed-price arrangement with no competitive evaluation factors, as the procurement is non-competitive and based on sole-source authority. The period of performance spans one year, aligning with the maintenance agreement, though specific delivery dates and performance milestones are not detailed. The place of performance is implied to be at the EPA’s facility in Washington DC, and all proposals must be submitted via email to Contracting Officer Harold Day by the deadline of August 20, 2026. No formal contract clauses, packaging specifications, inspection criteria, or payment details are provided in the presolicitation notice, consistent with the streamlined requirements for commercial item acquisitions. While the NAICS code 334516 identifies the nature of the product, no socioeconomic status, CAGE code, or unique entity identifier has been disclosed, and no COR or COTR has been named. The submission process requires offerors to provide itemized pricing and sufficient documentation to confirm capability, with email as the sole accepted method for proposal delivery and no physical or portal-based submissions permitted.
