Iowa DNR Title V air quality permit application

This Special Notice from the Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Marketing and Regulatory Programs Business Services regards a sole source justification for awarding a firm fixed price purchase order to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources Air Quality Bureau for renewal of a Title V air permit. The justification document attached to the notice seeks approval for renewing the permit without full and open competition due to time constraints requiring the permit to be renewed by March 25, 2024 for continued facility operations.

The purpose of the sole source justification is to renew the National Centers for Animal Health's Title V air permit through the Iowa DNR, which must evaluate the permit application and issue the renewal. The estimated price for the renewal is $25,000 based on past similar requirements. Only the Iowa DNR located at 502 E 9th Street in Des Moines, Iowa is delegated by the EPA to write air quality permits for the state, making it the recommended and only qualified source eligible to perform the permit renewal work under the tight deadline of December 16, 2023 to apply for the renewal and March 25, 2024 for issuance.
