The Department of Labor's Mine Safety and Health Administration awarded a blanket purchase agreement to SKC Inc. to procure diesel particulate matter cassettes. The single award agreement has a potential value of $857,169.40 and period of performance through June 2026. Three firm fixed price calls against the agreement were placed for cassette purchases totaling $52,337.83 to support MSHA's regulatory and enforcement programs monitoring harmful particulate matter in mines. The first call, valued at $1,863.60, required delivery to Arlington, Virginia by February 2023. The second and third calls, valued at $19,567.80 and $30,906.43 respectively, required delivery to Eighty Four, Pennsylvania by September 2022 and Arlington, Virginia by April 2022. No set-aside provisions were applied to the agreement or associated calls. The blanket purchase agreement and calls were awarded under SKC Inc.'s Multiple Award Schedule contract vehicle to enable MSHA's ongoing procurement of the health and safety monitoring products.

The blanket purchase agreement and three firm fixed price calls against it from the Department of Labor's Mine Safety and Health Administration to SKC Inc. established an efficient means of procuring diesel particulate matter cassettes for use in the agency's regulatory programs. The cassettes help MSHA monitor particulate matter levels in mines to protect the health and safety of miners, in keeping with the agency's mission. Placement of the calls against the agreement streamlined acquisition of the products for use across MSHA's operations.
