The Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Research and Development is issuing a notice of intent to sole source PFAS standards and chemicals, which fall under laboratory equipment and supplies procurement. The agency is seeking to procure goods related to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), a critical area of environmental research and regulation. This pre-solicitation notice indicates the EPA's intention to conduct a sole source acquisition, meaning the agency has identified a specific vendor or source believed to be uniquely capable of meeting its requirements. The evaluation will likely focus on the vendor's technical expertise, experience with PFAS standards and chemical products, and ability to meet the EPA's research and development objectives. The notice was posted on November 24, 2025, with a response deadline of December 3, 2025, providing interested parties approximately nine days to submit inquiries or relevant documentation.

This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting competition to small business entities that meet the Small Business Administration's size standards for the applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 325998. The specific award value, contract timeline, and detailed quantity requirements are not disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice. No incumbent contractor information has been provided at this stage. Interested small businesses should monitor the EPA's procurement system for the formal solicitation release and prepare documentation demonstrating their capability to supply PFAS standards and chemicals that meet federal research and development specifications.
