AI Contract Overview
The Environmental Protection Agency’s Great Lakes National Program Office plans to award a sole source purchase order to Sea-Bird Electronics, Inc. for three specialized oceanographic instruments: a micro-TSG, a submersible ultraviolet nitrate analyzer, and an ACS spectrophotometer. These devices are essential for continuous surface water sampling aboard the research vessel Lake Guardian and have been determined to be uniquely available only from this vendor due to technical integration requirements and market exclusivity, particularly for the submersible ultraviolet nitrate analyzer. The agency has conducted market research confirming no other commercial suppliers meet the specific compatibility and performance standards needed to interface with the existing flow-through system on the vessel. This notice, issued under RFO FAR 6.103-1(b), is not a solicitation and does not obligate the government to award a contract. Interested parties who believe they can fulfill the requirement may submit written evidence of their capability to the Contracting Officer, Meonii Bristol, by July 28, 2026, at 10:00 PM Eastern Time. Responses must be sent via email to bristol.meonii@epa.gov; telephone inquiries will not be accepted. All submissions will be treated as market research and used solely to inform the government’s decision on whether to proceed with sole source award. The solicitation number is 68HE0526Q0011, and the North American Industry Classification System code is 334519, with the contract to be administered from the EPA’s Region 5 office in Chicago, Illinois.
