Particulate Sampling Systems for Heavy-Duty Engine

The Environmental Protection Agency's National Vehicle and Fuel Emissions Laboratory (NVFEL) is soliciting proposals for new particulate matter (PM) sampling and measurement systems used in heavy-duty engine testing. This solicitation seeks analytical laboratory instruments designed to capture and measure particulate emissions with the precision required for regulatory compliance and emissions testing. The primary points of contact for this procurement are Mitch Patrie and Jon Slater at the EPA. While the solicitation notice does not explicitly detail specific evaluation criteria, vendors should anticipate that proposals will be assessed based on technical capability, system performance specifications, compliance with EPA testing standards, and cost-effectiveness. The proposal submission deadline is March 19, 2026, which represents the final closing date after two amendments to the original solicitation posted on February 11, 2026. Interested vendors should note that Amendment 01 incorporated responses to vendor questions and updated the Statement of Work, making it essential to review the most current documentation before submitting proposals.

This procurement carries no set-aside designation, meaning all qualified vendors are eligible to compete regardless of business size or classification. The notice does not identify any incumbent contractors or specify an award value or budget range for this acquisition. The specific quantities of PM sampling systems required and detailed timeline parameters for delivery and installation are not provided in this summary document, though vendors should consult the complete solicitation for comprehensive specifications. The equipment will be installed and utilized at the NVFEL facility located at 2565 Plymouth Road, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48105, which serves as the place of performance. The procurement falls under NAICS code 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) and PSC code N066 (Installation of Equipment—Instruments and Laboratory Equipment), indicating the technical scope and classification of this requirement.
