Notice of Intent-AirClean Systems

Added: Mar 04, 2016 1:44 pm PLEASE READ THIS NOTICE CAREFULLY AS IT CONSTITUTES THE ONLY NOTICE THAT WILL BE PUBLISHED. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) intends to negotiate a one-time, sole-source, fixed price contract with AirClean Systems, 2179 E Lyon Station Road, Creedmoor, NC, 27522 for the purpose of procuring a twelve (12) month service agreement for maintenance on our existing Drysafe Evidence Drying Cabinets. The FBI intends to negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1.

The FBI's Evidence Response Team Unit (ERTU), Laboratory Division (LD) has a need for a service agreement and preventative maintenance with AirClean Systems for the Drysafe Evidence Drying Cabinets in twenty seven (27) field offices. The preventative maintenance and service of these cabinets is essential to performance. The filters contained within these units act to capture or collect all airborne particles and vapors released during the drying process. The used filters are considered hazardous wastes once they have served their predetermined life cycle. Each cabinet has two HEPA filters and two carbon filters which must be replaced by a certified technician after a period of two years.

Based on market research conducted and contacts made with knowledgeable individuals within the government and related industry, it has been determined the FBI's requirement can only be provided by AirClean Systems. The Forensic Drying cabinets are manufactured and owned exclusively by AirClean Systems and therefore, they are the only vendor that can provide certified technicians capable of supplying the needed maintenance.
