Quick Summary
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), specifically the Land, Enforcement & Air Division (LEAD), Office of Air and Radiation Procurement Branch (OPB), is conducting market research through a Sources Sought Synopsis to identify qualified firms for the procurement of 157,500 custom-made 4" polyester air filter discs. These filters, Part #335019, are manufactured by Gusmer Enterprises Filters Materials Division and are essential for the EPA's National Analytical Radiation Environmental Laboratory (NAREL) Radiation Network Monitoring System (RADNET). The goal is to assess industry capabilities and determine the final procurement method, including potential small business set-asides. Responses are due by March 13, 2026, 11:00 am EDT.
Scope of Requirement
The EPA requires 157,500 custom-made 4" polyester air filters (Part #335019) for its RADNET air filter program, which operates high-volume air-monitoring stations across over 100 locations in the United States. These filters are critical because they permit uninterrupted high-volume air sampling for over one continuous week without operator intervention, a capability no other known filter provides. Any change in filter composition could invalidate long-term data trends. The applicable NAICS code is 423840 with a small business size standard of 500 employees.
