About this opportunity
The Environmental Protection Agency's National Vehicle and Fuel Emissions Laboratory is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) for a high-density engine test site fuel system upgrade at their Ann Arbor, Michigan facility. The agency is seeking a comprehensive fuel system solution that includes a fuel measurement module capable of supplying diesel fuel at specific flow rates with precise accuracy, and a temperature conditioning module that can heat or cool fuel within strict parameters. The RFI aims to identify potential vendors who can provide a system that integrates with existing equipment, including an AVL PR3 fuel pressure control module and a Horiba STARS host automation system. This market research initiative is designed to gather technical specifications and capabilities from potential suppliers, with the ultimate goal of replacing an obsolete current system. The RFI responses are due by May 12, 2025, and vendors are instructed to email their submissions to OARNVFELSACO@epa.gov with the specific RFI identifier 68HE0M25Q0014 in the subject line.
The EPA has explicitly stated that this RFI is targeting small businesses, though they will consider submissions from all vendors regardless of size or national origin. No specific award value or budget range is mentioned in the pre-solicitation notice, and no set-aside designations have been formally implemented. The procurement is categorized under NAICS code 334516 for Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing and PSC category H128 for Quality Control of Engines, Turbines, and Components. Pricing information is not required at this stage, and the agency emphasizes that this RFI does not guarantee a subsequent solicitation or contract award. The proposed system must be installed in the HD5 test cell and include all necessary plumbing and electrical connections to ensure full functionality, with a focus on precise fuel flow measurement, temperature control, and integration with existing laboratory equipment.

HD engine test site fuel system upgrade
68HE0M25Q0014
This is a request for information (RFI) only. The EPA makes no guarantee that a solicitation or award will result from this RFI. The purpose of this RFI is for market research purposes only.
EPA is seeking information from vendors that can sell engine test site fuel system upgrade to include the following products and services to include:
• A fuel measurement module capable of supplying diesel fuel at 125 kg/hr for engine consumption and 650 l/hr for recirculation, with flow rate measurement accuracy meeting CFR 1065-307(f). Accuracy must not be affected by pressure waves or changes in flow rate caused by normal transient or steady-state operation of the engine.
• A temperature conditioning module capable of heating or cooling the fuel to any setpoint between 20°C and 45°C and maintaining fuel temperature to within 1°C of the setpoint.
• Installation of the above components in the HD5 test cell at the US EPA National Vehicle and Fuel Emissions Laboratory in Ann Arbor, Michigan. This includes all plumbing and electrical connections necessary for full functionality.
• Integration of the above components with an existing AVL PR3 fuel pressure control module in the HD5 test cell. Alternatively, you may replace the PR3 with your own pressure control module that duplicates or exceeds the performance and functionality of the PR3 module.
• Integration of the above components with the HD5 test site’s Horiba STARS host automation system for fuel flow/pressure/temperature reporting and for remote operator control of the fuel system from the test site’s operator console.
This RFI is trying to identify SMALL BUSINESSES!
This Sources Sought is seeking authorized American products that meets or exceeds the above specifications to replace a current obsolete system.
We encourage all vendors (large or small, USA or foreign made) that can offer products that meet the above requirements to reply with any technical specifications and/or material. Pricing is not required at this time.
If emailed, please include RFI: 68HE0M25Q0014 in the subject of the email.
Point of Contact for this Sources Sought is OAR NVFEL SACO, Contracting Office, email at OARNVFELSACO@epa.gov. Telephone queries will not be honored.
