The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention intends to award a sole source firm fixed price purchase order to RJ Lee Group to conduct aerosol characterization from reference particulates and complex mixtures. The utilization of RJ Lee in this endeavor is necessary because of the continuity with previous work performed by RJLee on the characterization of similar materials and their ability to provide the combination of scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) for measurement of particle statistics, and high resolution imaging. The STEM microscopes unique to RJ Lee allow the on-line alternation of multiple imaging techniques on the same sample. This feature will make it possible to search for the presence of individual nano material fragments which separated from the composite materials. This contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) (SAP) and 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1).
