Ozone Precursor Systems

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) is procuring two Ozone Precursor Systems to be deployed at air monitoring sites across the state, including in Travis County and the city of Austin. The systems must be capable of collecting qualitative and quantitative measurements of specific hydrocarbon compounds and total non-methane organic compounds (TNMOC) in ambient air. The successful bidder must provide an integrated system including sample introduction, moisture management, sample concentration, dual-column gas chromatography, and flame ionization detection. The system must be compatible with TCEQ's existing automated gas chromatography (autoGC) equipment and include supporting software, installation, optimization, and training services. Bids are due by July 16, 2024, and the contract term is for one year with options for up to four additional one-year renewals.

The solicitation does not specify any set-aside requirements or disadvantaged enterprise restrictions. The current incumbent contractor is unknown. The funding source is TCEQ's operating budget, but the total award value is not provided. The procurement will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on the most advantageous combination of price, delivery time, and other preferences claimed by the bidders.
