These parts will replace or repair MINICAMS parts that are used in all phases of testing. Sole Source PER Purchase of replacement and repair parts for MINICAMs Safety Air Monitoring Equipment. These parts will replace or repair MINICAMS parts that are used in all phases of testing. Chemical Test Division (CTD) has over 300 MINICAMS and the items listed above will be used to replace and repair obsolete instruments and ensure sufficient instrumentation is operational to support safety air monitoring and to support test referee requirements. If this requirement is not procured it will impact Government’s ability to be in compliance with safety regulations and to referee ongoing and future test of record programs. CMS Research Corporation is the MINICAMS manufacturer and is the only vendor that produces such Gas Chromatograph (GC) instrumentation. DPG WDTC CTD has utilized MINICAM sample units for agent and agent simulators for decades. The rarity of the tasks performed and monitored at DPG have limited the market in the variety of offerors of this equipment. MINICAMs and parts have been purchased as a sole source and advertised as such for decades and no other company has proposed a suitable replacement or voice interest in providing an alternate product.

PRODUCT TO BE PURCHASED: Dugway Proving Ground (DPG) West Destert Test Center requires replacement parts for MINICAM Safety Air Monitoring Equipment. These parts will replace or repair MINICAMS parts that are used in all phases of testing. MINICAMS is a fully automated, continuous, near-real-time air monitoring system. It was designed primarily for use in the U.S. Army's Chemical Stockpile Disposal Program as an automated chemical-vapor alarm system for monitoring of workplace air and other potentially contaminated in-plant zones, e.g., stack exhausts, ducts, filter banks, etc. It also works well for support of materials-penetration and permeation studies and many other laboratory or on-site test efforts involving a need to detect and quantify chemical vapors automatically and continuously. It provides audible, visible, and electrical alarm responses to toxic military chemical agent vapors, e.g., GB, VX, HD, etc., and to many other substances at any of a variety of regulatory threshold concentrations, e.g., TWA, MDL, PEL, etc. It also provides accurate vapor concentration readings at concentrations in the general vicinity of the preset alarm threshold. It was specifically designed to detect and accurately quantify the chemical agents and other volatile and semi-volatile compounds at far lower concentrations than most other chemical vapor monitors. MINICAMS is a readily transportable system that is designed to be set up and operated at fixed indoor locations or (under mild conditions) at sheltered outdoor monitoring stations, although instances of successful use in vehicles and other mobile platforms have occurred. It requires one or more compressed gases and a source of 117VAC electrical power for its operation.
