ForTec
Use EPfl's Vendor Field Analytical and Characterization
Technologies System Database [Vendor FACTS).
Developed by EPA's Technology Innovation Office and National Exposure Research
Laboratory - Las Vegas and offered to users at no charge, Vendor FACTS contains
information provided by vendors on the applicability, performance, and current use of
their products. The user friendly system allows users to screen technologies by such
parameters as contaminants, media, intended use or development status. Version 2.0
includes approximately 128 technologies provided by 92 vendors.
Version 2.0 contains analytical geophysical, chemical
enaction, and sampling technologies
The database contains information on certain categories of technologies that EPA
believes may provide the greatest opportunities for streamlining the site assessment
process. Some of the technologies ,are listed below:
Air Measurement
Analytical Detectors
Gas Chromatography
Chemical Reaction-Based Indicators
Immunoassay
Soil Gas Analyzer
Cone Penetrometer
Downhole Sensors
X-Ray Flourescence Analyzer
Ground Penetrating Radar
Infrared Monitors

ForTech
Vendor FACTS connects you with potential customers
EPA believes that Vendor FACTS reaches a substantial number of professionals involved in
site characterization and analysis in the field. Users of the system, such as state and federal
regulators, site managers, consulting firms,
and remediation professionals, have access
to and are able to share information about
your products and their capabilities.
Participation in Vendor FACTS
is FREE
EPA Technology Innovation Office Conference Exhibit
EPA promotes and demonstrates
the system at various conferences in the U.S. and abroad.
More than 100 of your competitors are using Vendor FACTS to promote
their technologies. (A complete list of Vendor FACTS 2.0'vendors is provided in
this bulletin.)
Vendor FACTS is a service offered by EPA to promote the use of certain categories of
innovative technologies for field analysis and site characterization. It includes portable or
transportable technologies for on-site screening, characterizing, monrtoring and analysis of
hazardous substances. Stand alone software used in the field to facilitate or expedite site
characterization process also is included in the database. Technologies used for monitoring
industrial process waste streams are not eligible.
Participation in Vendor FACTS is voluntary, at no charge to the technology vendors.
Vendors that wish to participate in Version 3.0 of the database must provide to EPA
information about their srte characterization technologies by completing the Vendor .
Information Form (VIF). The VIF, designed to allow vendors to highlight the performance of
their technologies, can be obtained by returning the attached Order Form. The VIF 3.0 will
be available by April 1997. Version 3.0 is scheduled for release in December 1997.
