NOI to Sole Source for Mesacare On-Prem Plan

The Environmental Protection Agency Region 6 has issued a Special Notice for a sole source procurement related to premium calibration and maintenance services for the R6 Houston Lab. Posted on December 10, 2025, this Request for Quote seeks a Purchase Order from a single source contractor qualified to provide specialized service support. The procurement falls under NAICS code 334513 (Instruments and Related Products Manufacturing) and PSC code 6685 (Pressure, Temperature, and Humidity Measuring and Controlling Instruments), indicating the technical nature of the required services. This sole source approach suggests that EPA Region 6 has determined that only one contractor possesses the requisite capabilities or qualifications to meet the specific requirements. The notice does not employ a set-aside provision, meaning the opportunity is open to all eligible vendors without small business or other restricted category requirements.

The primary objective of this procurement is to secure a premium service plan that will maintain the operational reliability and accuracy of the calibration and measurement equipment at the EPA's Houston laboratory facility. Contractors interested in pursuing this opportunity must submit their quotes by the December 17, 2025 deadline, allowing one week from the posting date for proposal preparation and submission. As a sole source procurement, interested parties should note that this vehicle is available exclusively to the contractor(s) EPA Region 6 has identified as capable of fulfilling these specialized maintenance and calibration services. Potential contractors should ensure they possess the technical expertise, certifications, and capacity to deliver premium service-level support for industrial process measurement instruments. The procurement does not specify additional eligibility restrictions beyond standard federal contractor requirements, though contractors should verify their capability to meet the specialized technical demands of servicing laboratory-grade measurement equipment.
