About this opportunity
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) intends to award a sole-source firm fixed-price purchase order to Greco Gas for laboratory gas cylinder rental and replacement. The procurement is specifically for the National Personal Protective Technology Laboratory (NPPTL) and involves acquiring approximately 50 individual specialized gas cylinders containing substances like Acrolein, Ammonia, Carbon Monoxide, Chlorine, and Hydrogen Cyanide. The contract is critical for maintaining mission-critical respirator approval testing and auditing processes, with the government warning that failure to award the contract could halt these essential activities. Interested vendors must submit their quotations/responses via email to zdm3@cdc.gov by March 13, 2025 at 6:00 pm, though the government retains sole discretion in determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. The solicitation is being conducted under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) and is not a formal competitive request, but all responsible sources may submit a bid or quotation.
The contract is not set aside for any specific group and is being pursued under the Industrial Gas Manufacturing (NAICS 325120) and Laboratory Equipment and Supplies (PSC 6640) categories. The period of performance runs from the date of award through December 31, 2025, with delivery requirements split between two locations in Morgantown, WV and Pittsburgh, PA. Cylinders will be rented rather than purchased, with total delivery expected within six months of contract award. Vendors must comply with Section 508 accessibility standards and be prepared to remediate any non-conforming technologies at their own expense. While specific award value is not disclosed, the procurement is time-sensitive and considered urgent by the CDC to maintain continuous respirator testing capabilities. Greco Gas is the intended sole source due to their status as the original cylinder supplier and the critical nature of the immediate requirement.
Notice text
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention intends to award a sole source firm fixed price purchase order to Greco Gas for delivery of various laboratory gas cylinders required for respirator approval testing. Only one source is reasonably available due to the urgency of the requirement. If the purchase order is not awarded this week, CDC will cease mission-critical approvals of new respirators and auditing of already certified respirators. This contract action is for supplies for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) (SAP). All responsible sources may submit a bid, proposal, or quotation which shall be considered by the agency.
This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, all quotations/responses received within one day of the issuance of this notice shall be considered by the government. A determination by the government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Any quotation/response should be emailed to contract specialist at zdm3@cdc.gov by March 13, 2025 at 6:00 pm.
