NCB 6603 Measurement Technology Laboratories LLC

The California Air Resources Board (ARB) has issued a Non-Competitive Bid (NCB) contract for specialized maintenance services for a proprietary Auto Weighing System (AWS) located in their clean room facilities. The contract (15CAR022) will be awarded to Measurement Technology Laboratories, LLC (MTL) for a three-year period from June 1, 2016 to May 31, 2019. The specific procurement focuses on on-site remedial and preventive maintenance for a customized particulate matter (PM) mass determination system within a Class-1000 temperature and humidity controlled environment. The maintenance services are critically required to ensure compliance with U.S. EPA 40 CFR, Part 1065 and 1066 regulations, which mandate accurate filter mass results for ARB's emission inventory and State Implementation Plan (SIP). The sole contractor, MTL, is uniquely qualified due to their proprietary AWS system, with only MTL employees and engineers capable of maintaining and servicing the specialized equipment. The contract was posted on August 23, 2017, with a specified due date of May 5, 2016, though this appears to be an administrative error in the document.

The contract is explicitly a non-competitive procurement, with no competitive bidding process allowed or anticipated. There are no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on enterprise types mentioned in the documentation. The contract is explicitly identified as a non-IT/telecom related service and will not be financed through alternative means. Measurement Technology Laboratories, LLC is the sole and incumbent vendor for this specialized maintenance service, justified by their unique proprietary technology that cannot be serviced by other contractors. The total contract value is precisely $117,267.15, with no provisions for amendments noted. The procurement is specifically tailored to MTL's unique capabilities in maintaining their proprietary Auto Weighing System, which is essential for the California Air Resources Board's technical and regulatory compliance requirements in emission testing and monitoring.
