The solicitation (36C25725Q0349) requires specialized scientific equipment capable of detecting ultrafine airborne particles in cleanroom environments, with specific technical capabilities including measuring air velocity, temperature, humidity, and differential pressure. The procurement will be conducted using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation methodology, where both technical capability and price will be assessed. Interested vendors must submit their offers by March 12, 2025, at 1:00 pm CST, with the equipment needing to meet precise technical specifications such as a 100LPM flow rate, ability to measure particles down to 0.3 microns, and operation on 100-240V power with battery options. Technical documentation, including IQ/OQ documentation for equipment maintenance and validation, will be required as part of the submission.

This procurement is exclusively set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) under NAICS code 334519, with a size standard of 600 employees. The place of performance is located in Dallas, TX 75216, and this represents a one-time buy procurement using Request for Quotation (RFQ) procedures. The Airborne Particle Counters will be used for monitoring air quality during construction projects, necessitating precise measurement capabilities and installation with a 2-foot section of rigid ductwork at the discharge point. While specific award value details are not explicitly stated, the solicitation covers the procurement of four units with specific technical requirements. The contract will require the selected vendor to provide equipment with LCD screen display, internal memory storage, printing capabilities, and meeting stringent environmental and technical monitoring standards for clinical and construction environments.
