Bidders must ensure their proposed products meet all listed specifications. The delivery timeline and warranty requirements are also key factors for proposal preparation.

Other / Unclassified

This document is a "Memorandum For File" justifying a non-competitive procurement for level and pressure sensors. It details the need to replace existing Endress + Hauser sensors in six tanks of the automated Liquid Waste Feed System (LWFS) at the Code 633 non-oily wastewater laboratory. The replacement sensors must be updated models of the same brand to maintain current LWFS functionality and operability.

This document indicates that the government intends to procure specific Endress + Hauser brand sensors on a sole-source basis. Potential bidders should note that this is not an open solicitation for these particular sensors. The justification cites restrictive rights and exclusive licensing agreements, as well as Eastern Controls, Inc. being the only authorized regional distributor in the relevant area, as reasons for limiting competition. The delivery timeline is 15 working days after receipt of order.
