CMS PJF Teledyne R-307837~1.pdf

This is a Procurement Justification Form from Central Management Services (CMS) for a one-time purchase of maintenance and repair parts for air quality monitoring equipment. The procurement involves an annual acquisition of parts needed for preventative maintenance on various types of monitors throughout the state's monitoring network, as required by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). The parts are procured near the end of the ozone season each year to support both scheduled maintenance activities and repairs for equipment failures encountered during normal operations. The estimated contract value is $43,780, and the method of procurement is sole source procurement.

The procurement is being conducted as a sole source acquisition with a BEP (Business Enterprise Program) goal established. The current need is being met through an existing procurement process whereby the agency maintains a small inventory of necessary parts to ensure timely maintenance and repairs of monitoring equipment. Without maintaining this inventory, the agency would be unable to perform required preventative maintenance and address equipment failures in a timely manner, which would result in non-compliance with EPA requirements and potential service interruptions to the monitoring network.
