Disclaimer

This is a Sources Sought Notice. This is not a solicitation for proposals, proposal abstracts, or quotations. The purpose of this notice is to obtain information regarding the availability and capability of all domestically manufactured products that are brand name or equal to meet the requirement described herein.

Agency/Office

Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)

National Institutes of Health (NIH)

Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations (OLAO)

Description

The NIH/OLAO is seeking to obtain information regarding the availability of U.S. manufactured Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) Systems. The NIH uses PAPR systems to protect workers against hazards present in laboratory, clinical, and industrial environments. Specifically, PAPR systems provide specialized respiratory protection against hazardous gases, vapors, and particles in laboratory and healthcare settings. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) staff rely on PAPR systems daily to complete mission critical activities, including laboratory testing, research, and field work, that follow specialized procedures designed to minimize biosafety risk and protect against respiratory hazards. The PAPR systems are a necessary component of respiratory protection for research, patient care, emergency response, hazardous materials response, and other activities where respiratory hazards may be present. PAPRs provide a higher assigned protection against a broader range of hazards, including particles, gases, and vapors, depending on the approved filter, cartridge, or canister used. In addition, the PAPR systems are used in research and patient care settings, and by first responders when entering hazardous materials settings. The filters are highly specialized, and the models are chosen in accordance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations. These protections and materials are required to be provided to workers ensuring compliance with the OSHA regulations pertaining to workplace safety. Research and patient care staff require these items to perform their day-to-day activities as a basic, core component to ensure worker and patient safety.

The types of PAPR Systems (brand name or equal)

See Attachment 1 - PAPR Systems List that includes the personal protective equipment types, brand, model and part numbers.

The PAPR systems salient characteristics:

NIOSH certification for the intended use and contaminants
Filter, cartridge, or canister capability matched to the biological, particulate, gas, vapor, chemical, or mixed hazard identified through the applicable risk assessment
An assigned protection factor sufficient for the hazard and exposure scenario
Approved and compatible batteries, chargers, breathing tubes, headtops, hoods, helmets, facepieces, and other components required to maintain the certification and safe function of the system
Sizes, headgear options, or loose-fitting configurations sufficient to accommodate the user population
Cleanability, disinfection compatibility, and replacement-part availability needed for repeated laboratory, clinical, field, and emergency use.

If we are not able to procure and provide the PAPR systems, research and other services will need to cease as we cannot knowingly allow staff to work in hazardous environments without appropriate respiratory protections. Inadequate protection increases the risk of occupational exposure, personnel injury or illness, interruption of clinical, research, and diagnostic activities and noncompliance with applicable occupational health and safety requirements. Reliable access to PAPR systems is therefore necessary to protect HHS personnel, maintain continuity of essential operations, and carry out the Department's public health, research, and emergency preparedness.
