J--Peak Scientific

The contract encompasses a single-source service agreement awarded to Peak Scientific for the repair, maintenance, and calibration of proprietary hydrogen, nitrogen, and air compressor systems owned by the Environmental Protection Agency’s Tribal & Science Division Water office in Cincinnati, Ohio. The equipment includes a Peak Precision Hydrogen Generator (SN 771053569), a Nitrogen Generator (SN 722110338), and an Air Compressor (SN 722090846), each requiring exclusively manufacturer-trained technicians due to proprietary firmware, diagnostic software, and calibration tools that are not accessible to third parties. Service must be performed using OEM-specific serialized parts to maintain warranty validity, ensure operational integrity, and comply with safety standards set by NFPA and OSHA. All maintenance activities must result in NIST-traceable certification of gas purity, pressure stability, dew point, and particulate/oil content, with full documentation tied to each unit’s serial number to support data defensibility for analytical instruments like GC/GC-MS and LC-MS systems. The acquisition was justified under FAR 6.103-1(b) as other than full and open competition due to technical exclusivity, lack of qualified alternatives, and the critical safety implications of non-OEM service, which could jeopardize personnel, facility safety, and regulatory compliance. There is no competitive bidding process, and no pricing details, CLINs, performance timeline, or packaging specifications are disclosed in the available records, though performance is expected at the EPA facility in Cincinnati, with acceptance based on verified conformance to manufacturer and regulatory standards. The contracting office is located at 45268, with Paige Long serving as the primary point of contact, but no payment office details, COR/COTR information, invoicing method, or clause language from FAR Section I is provided.
