DESCRIPTION: This Sources Sought Notice is for informational and planning purposes only and shall not be construed as a solicitation or as an obligation or commitment by the Government at this time. This notice is intended strictly for market research. The purpose of this Sources Sought notice is to determine interest and capability of potential qualifications of all businesses relative to the North American Industry Classification Code (NAICS) 334519. The Department of Veteran s Affairs is seeking all qualified business manufacturer or distributors of small business manufacturers to all the following specifications:

Requirement: The New York Harbor Safety Department & Engineering Service requires two (2) complete sets of IAQ (Indoor Air Quality) monitoring equipment. One set will be deployed at the Manhattan VAMC, and a second deployed at the Brooklyn VAMC. The Service will accept brand name or equal based on the salient characteristics and specifications described below:

At a minimum, the equipment must be capable of testing for the following parameters related to IAQ: total volatile organic compounds (TVOC); carbon monoxide; formaldehyde; ethylene oxide; particulate matter; and differential pressure.

The Safety Department currently does not have equipment to reliably test for these parameters. The contractor shall furnish all equipment necessary to provide reliable and accurate testing for the above parameters. An extended service contract including necessary annual equipment calibrations service is included in the scope of services required.

Sensors: The sensors used in the air quality monitoring equipment are critical. They shall be high-quality, accurate, and reliable.

Measurement Range: The indoor air quality monitoring equipment should have a broad measurement range to provide accurate real-time reading of the indoor air environment. Refer to specific numerical ranges stipulated in the table below.

Data Visualization and User Interface: The indoor air quality monitoring system should have a comprehensive visual display of the real-time measurement taken, digital graphical representation, and summary statistics of the environment.

Analytical Specifications: Two (2) full sets of each device are required. Each device must have a data-recording capable compatible with Microsoft Windows, so that data may be downloaded for technical reporting. Provide USB-compatible capability. Devices must be battery-powered for portable use in the field.

The device(s) must be capable of testing for the following parameters and must achieve the accuracy shown:
