***The sole source determination is based on the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA), Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR), Global Monitoring Laboratory (GML) requirement for the purchase of Swagelok gas components which are compatible with GML gas analysis instrumentation.

Denver Fluid System Solutions Inc. is the sole provider for this location of purchase by the GML.

Delivery is due by September 1, 2023 or sooner.
