- Description
- The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), Yuma Area Office, Yuma AZ, intends to solicit and negotiate on a sole source basis with Zenon Environmental Corporation dba GE Power and Water, a firm-fixed price acquisition to acquire replacement reverse osmosis cellulose acetate membrane elements for Pilot System #1 (PS1) in the Water Quality Improvement Center (WQIC). PS1 is used to produce facility water for YAO including potable water. PS1 is also used to conduct research & development activities for various programs including the upgrade of the Yuma Desalting Plant (YDP). GE Power and Water manufactures the GE Model CE8040F, cellulose acetate membrane which is 8" diameter, 40" long, and is wrapped in fiberglass (Part No. 1206880). These CE Brackish Water Elements are used for brackish water desalination. The requirement is for cellulose acetate membrane elements manufactured only by GE Power and Water with an operating pressure of: 140-400 psi and a water transport coefficient of 4 x 10-12 m/s-Pa. Other membrane elements typically have an operating feed pressure for greater than 400 psi; and have a water transport coefficient of less than 4 x 10-12 m/s-Pa which do not meet Reclamation's requirement. Therefore, Reclamation has identified Zenon Environmental Corporation dba GE Power and Water, as the sole source capable of providing the replacement membrane elements required by Reclamation. A Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition has been prepared in support of this acquisition. This is a Notice of Intent only and not a request for competitive proposals or an announcement of a solicitation. The North American Industry Classification System Code (NAICS) identified for this action is 221310 - Water Supply and Irrigation Systems; the Small Business Size Standard is $7M. The proposed action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. All responsible sources are welcome to submit a capability statement and pricing. Responses should include the firm's business size (e.g. small business, women-owned business, veteran-owned business, large business, etc.). The Government will not pay for any materials furnished in response to this synopsis. Submittals furnished will not be returned to the sender. Responses are due by September 6, 2011, 2:00 p.m. (local time, Yuma AZ) for consideration. Inquiries will only be accepted by email at mcordero@usbr.gov. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed action based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. This procurement will be awarded using Simplified Acquisition Procedures. The anticipated award date is September 7, 2011. Questions may be directed to Myra Cordero at (928) 343-8134, or e-mail to mcordero@usbr.gov
