EMA - Piranha Meters Calibration and Repair - TL

The Illinois Emergency Management Agency - Occupational Health and Safety (IEMA-OHS) is conducting a small purchase procurement for Piranha Meters Calibration and Repair Services, with a sole source designation specifically for RTI Electronics, Inc. The contract opportunity involves calibration and repair services for 20 Piranha Model 557 Multifunction Meters, which are specialized measurement devices potentially used for emergency management, occupational safety monitoring, or radiation detection purposes. The procurement is targeted exclusively at RTI Electronics, which is identified as the sole authorized provider for manufacturing, servicing, and calibrating their equipment within the United States. The contract opportunity was posted on June 2, 2025, with a submission deadline of June 6, 2025, indicating a relatively compressed procurement timeline. The inventory of meters includes various configurations, with serial numbers ranging from CB2-07070030 to CB2-4090424, and includes at least one meter with a Windows 8 Tablet integration. Key objectives appear to include maintaining the operational readiness and accuracy of these specialized measurement devices through manufacturer-authorized calibration and repair services.

This procurement appears to be a direct, sole-source contract with no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor types beyond the exclusive selection of RTI Electronics, Inc. The contract is limited to a single vendor due to the manufacturer-specific nature of the calibration and repair services required for the Piranha Model 557 Multifunction Meters. No specific budget range or award value is explicitly stated in the provided documentation. The procurement seems focused on maintaining existing equipment infrastructure, with the inventory suggesting incremental acquisitions of these meters over multiple years. The presence of a Windows 8 Tablet-associated meter indicates potential technological complexity and the need for specialized technical expertise in servicing these devices. While the exact budget is not disclosed, the small purchase designation and the focused scope of work suggest a relatively modest contract value centered on maintaining critical measurement equipment for the Illinois Emergency Management Agency's Occupational Health and Safety division.
