The circumstance permitting "Other than full and open competition" is FAR 6.302-1, "Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements". All interested parties who believe they can provide the required items should submit a written proposal within 15 days from the date of this announcement. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code 334516, which has a size standard of 500 employees to qualify as a small business, is applicable. The intent of this notice is to determine if any other source(s) exist, and therefore, no solicitation (RFQ) is available. Consequently, any response failing to provide the aforementioned data but instead choosing to merely submit a routine letter requesting a copy of the RFQ will be ignored. Submit response to U.S. EPA, Attn: Barbara R. Nelson (MD-33), Contracts Management Division, Research Triangle Park, NC 27711. No telephonic or faxed requests will be honored.
