The U.S. EPA Region 10 intends to award a firm-fixed-price purchase order on a sole-source basis for chemical analysis of environmental samples, specifically total Selenium and Selenium speciation. Market research identified Brooks Applied Labs, LLC as the only source currently capable of meeting the full requirement within the required performance schedule. Other potential sources either could not perform all required analyses for aqueous, biological, and solid matrices or failed to demonstrate full capability. The government will consider all timely quotations received. If another source demonstrates the ability to satisfy the complete requirement, the agency may amend or cancel the notice and pursue competitive acquisition.
