- Description
- CDC, NIOSH, National Personal Protective Technology Laboratory intend to negotiate with TSI, Incorporated for an Engine Exhaust Particle Sizer (EEPS), Model number 3091. The Engine Exhaust Particle Sizer (EEPS) is an instrument that is necessary for the Diesel Team of NIOSH-PRL to fulfill our portion of the agenda set forth in the National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA) multi-disciplinary nanoparticle research project. The objective of the NORA nanoparticle research project is to identify and evaluate the nanometer and ultrafine aerosols emitted by diesel-powered equipment and formulate control technologies to reduce worker exposure to these particles, thereby reducing the associated occupational health risks. The EEPS spectrometer measures submicrometer aerosols in the range from 5.6 to 560 nanometers in diameter. In addition, the fast response gives this instrument the ability to measure the transient behavior of aerosols that occur during engine test cycles. These transient behaviors are more typical of diesel engine operation in the workplace environment and thus this fast response is necessary for an accurate characterization of the nanoparticles present in the workplace. Firms that believe they can provide the required equipment are encouraged to identify themselves and give written notification to the Contracting Officer within 15 days from the date of this synopsis. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed action based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Please address all inquiries to Margaret L. Mooney at CDC/PGO/AAFB/Pittsburgh, (412)386-6431 or E-mail zia3@cdc.gov. Simplified Acquisition Procedures requiring written quotations will be utilized.
