Notice of Intent for Mantis Flare Monitors

Background
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is issuing a notice of intent to award a sole source fixed price purchase order for the acquisition of specialized monitoring equipment. The goal of this contract is to procure two Mantis Flare Monitors equipped with Mantis Imaging Spectrometers and associated field kits. This equipment is essential for compliance inspections and mission-critical inspection work in industrial settings.

Work Details
The contractor will provide:
- Two (2) Mantis Multi-spectral Remote Flare Monitors with Mantis Imaging Spectrometer.
- Two (2) Mantis Lite Multi-spectral Remote Flare Monitors.
- Associated equipment including:
- Two (2) 24V Nema Power Supplies.
