The Department of Veteran s Affairs is seeking all qualified business manufacturer or

distributors of small business manufacturers to all the following specifications: Requirement: The New York Harbor Safety Department & Engineering Service requires two (2) complete sets of IAQ (Indoor Air Quality) monitoring equipment. One set will be deployed at the Manhattan VAMC, and a second deployed at the Brooklyn VAMC. The Service will accept brand name or equal based on the salient characteristics and specifications described below: At a minimum, the equipment must be capable of testing for the following parameters related to IAQ: total volatile organic compounds (TVOC); carbon monoxide; formaldehyde; ethylene oxide; particulate matter; and differential pressure. The Safety Department currently does not have equipment to reliably test for these parameters. The contractor shall furnish all equipment necessary to provide reliable and accurate testing for the above parameters. An extended service contract including necessary annual equipment calibrations service is included in the scope of services required. Sensors: The sensors used in the air quality monitoring equipment are critical. They shall be high-quality, accurate, and reliable. Measurement Range: The indoor air quality monitoring equipment should have a broad measurement range to provide accurate real-time reading of the indoor air environment. Refer to specific numerical ranges stipulated in the table below. Data Visualization and User Interface: The indoor air quality monitoring system should have a comprehensive visual display of the real-time measurement taken, digital graphical representation, and summary statistics of the environment. Analytical Specifications: Two (2) full sets of each device are required. Each device must have a data-recording capable compatible with Microsoft Windows, so that data may be downloaded for technical reporting. Provide USB-compatible capability. Devices must be battery-powered for portable use in the field. The device(s) must be capable of testing for the following parameters and must achieve the accuracy shown: PARAMETER MINIMUM ANALYTICAL DETECTION RANGE (in parts per million or ppm) SENSITIVITY Carbon Monoxide 0-400 ppm 10 ppm detection limit Total VOCs 0 10 ppm 1 ppm detection limit Formaldehyde 0 1 ppm 0.1 ppm detection limit Ethylene Oxide 0-20 ppm 1 ppm detection limit Particle Counter Must quantify PM2.5 and PM10 standard analyses 0.3 micron threshold Differential Pressure N/A 0.01 inches of water Air Velocity N/A 5 feet per minute minimum Temperature 60-150 degrees F 1 degree Service/Calibration: The vendor s submittal shall include a two-year calibration service to ensure continued accuracy/reliability of the equipment. Provide expedited ship back calibration service (maximum 30-day turnaround). Provide documented calibration reports. THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION AND DOES NOT OBLIGATE THE GOVERNMENT TO ISSUE A SOLICITATION. Please be advised that the Government will not pay for any information submitted under this announcement. The applicable North American Classification System (NAICS) Code for this requirement is 334519 (Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing). Response Email should contain the following information: Name of firm, Socio-Economic category of the firm, complete address, phone & fax number of contacts.
