- Description
- Procurement Office: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Office of Chief Procurement Officer (OCPO), Office of Land, Enforcement and Air Division (LEAD), Washington, DC 20460 Response Date: April 1, 2026, NLT 4:30PM EST (TBD) Pursuant to the authority granted by 41 U.S.C.253(c)(1), only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Office of Land and Emergency Management (OLEM) intends to increase the capacity (i.e., ceiling) of EPA�s Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) contract, 68HERH25C0005, with MRIGlobal by approximately $244,900.00. The Portable High Throughput Integrated Laboratory Identification Systems (PHILIS) laboratory systems were designed to detect Chemical Warfare Agents (CWAs) and Toxic Industrial Chemicals (TICs). Multimedia Volatile Organic compound (VOC) and Semi-volatile organic compound (SVOC) analysis are performed in the laboratories as well as other analyses as needed. The PHILIS Program provides on-site mobile and base of operations laboratory capabilities to respond to CWA and TIC releases, as well as any supplementary locations that are deemed fundamental to accomplishing EPA�s mission. The current contract replaces the mobile operational laboratory platforms and optimizes operations of the PHILIS units located in Edison, New Jersey and Castle Rock, Colorado. This increase is necessary to increase the ceiling of the contract to account for requirement expansions, that have caused variances outside the current ceiling price. Changes include: Custom Generator Exhaust Adaptors � the custom adaptor will couple the generator exhaust outlet to high-temperature ducting present for use at the home locations of each laboratory which will push all exhaust outside the building. Insulation Upgrade - upgrade from 2� to over-fill and cut flush in all applicable cavities, increasing average insulation thickness to ~ 5.5� to ensure all cavities are filled. Fire Sensing and Suppression system Upgrades - upgrade from surface mounted control and sensor system wire routing to sub-surface routing, installations, and paint raw metal on Unistrut supports for the dispersion components which allows for better facility decontamination. This increase does not impact the scope of the contract (68HERH25C0005). The Contracting Officer (CO) has determined that the only way to ensure the completion of the design, build and delivery of the mobile labs under contract 68HERH25C0005 continues uninterrupted is to obtain support through the current contractor, MRIGlobal. MRIGlobal specializes in the work under this contract and has gained substantial information on the design and build of the mobile laboratories since contract award that are critical to fulfilling this requirement efficiently and effectively, without undue start-up time and additional costs required for another contractor to gain the knowledge already obtained by MRIGlobal. NO SOLICITATION IS AVAILABLE. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, pursuant to FAR 5.207(c)(16)(ii), all responsible sources may submit a capability statement which shall be considered by the agency. Capability statements must be received within the time set forth in this announcement to be considered by the Government. Each response should include the following Business Information: Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) Company Name and Address Company Point of Contact, including Phone and Email Capability Statement Responses to this notice must be in writing and provide clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government. A determination not to compete based upon the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. All questions should be directed to Adrianne Wells, Contract Specialist, ONLY VIA EMAIL at Wells.Adrianne@epa.gov.
