    Notice of Intent to Sole Source LMP Gas Tracer

    The Department of Defense, specifically the Department of the Army, has issued a Special Notice for the procurement of a LMP Gas Tracer. This notice is a notification of the government's intent to award a sole source contract to NCS Corporation for the acquisition and shipment of Model LMP-3000 Halocarbon Monitors.

    The LMP Gas Tracer is typically used for in-place filter certification of carbon filters and their filter banks for mechanical leakage. It is specifically required by the Chemical Biological Center at Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD. The instrument contains an electron capture gas chromatograph that utilizes the high electron affinity of gases or vapors with halogen group elements to provide a measurable signal and report the concentrations on a digital display. The specific application for this instrument is the in-place filter certification testing of carbon filters and their filter banks for mechanical leakage. The testing program requires the use of a specific tracer gas, Vertrel XF, which is compatible with the LMP Gas Tracer.

    NCS Corporation is the only manufacturer and sole distributor of the Model LMP-3000 Halocarbon Monitors that meet the requirements for this procurement. Online market research confirmed that there are no other business concerns capable of supporting this requirement. The posting date for this requirement is 24 July 2024, and interested parties must demonstrate their interest and capability to respond by 8 August 2024.
