Analysis of perfluorocarbon tracer gas samples for the determination of air exchange rates in single


An Advance Contract Award Notice (ACAN) allows departments and agencies to post a notice, for no less than fifteen calendar days, indicating to the supplier community that it intends to award a good, service or construction contract to a pre-identified contractor. If no other supplier submits, on or before the closing date, a statement of capabilities that meets the requirements set out in the ACAN, the competitive requirements of the government’s contracting policy have been met. Following notification to suppliers not successful in demonstrating that their statement of capabilities meets the requirements set out in the ACAN, the contract may then be awarded using the Treasury Board’s electronic bidding authorities.
If other potential suppliers submit statements of capabilities during the fifteen calendar day posting period, and meet the requirements set out in the ACAN, the department or agency must proceed to a full tendering process on either the government’s electronic tendering service or through traditional means, in order to award the contract.
Overview
NRC is involved in an indoor air quality field study looking at the impact of ventilation rates on the health of asthmatic children. This project requires the accurate determination of air exchange rates in residential homes averaged over a 6-8 day period. This will be achieved by using Brookhaven National Laboratory’s Perfluorocarbon Tracer (PFT) technology. Briefly, PFT emitting sources will be emplaced in the participant’s home during the sampling period and concurrently passive samplers (capillary adsorption tube samplers – CATS) will be deployed to sample the PFT. The air exchange rates can be determined from the concentration of PFTs measured in the home in 906 CATS samples.


Period and value of contract
The Contract will be completed by March 31 2011.

The proposed company to perform the work is:

Tracer Technology Group – Brookhaven National Laboratory
Bldg. 815E,
Uptonm NY 11973
USA

“Suppliers who consider themselves fully qualified and available to provide the services/goods described herein, may submit a statement of capabilities in writing to the contact person identified in this Notice on or before the closing date of this Notice. The statement of capabilities must clearly demonstrate how the supplier meets the advertised requirements.
The closing date for a submission of a statement of capabilities is May 27, 2010 17:00 EST.
