- Announcement of Opportunity (RFP) 1410-00003 Request for Proposals for providing Fluorometer / Optical Backscatter Instruments on Fixed Platforms (OOI) The Consortium for Ocean Leadership, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as "Ocean Leadership"), with funding from the National Science Foundation, is soliciting proposals from qualified organizations interested in providing Fluorometer / Optical Backscatter Instruments and related services to support the objective of the Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI). The OOI will construct a networked infrastructure of oceanic sensor systems to measure physical, chemical, geological, and biological variables in the ocean and seafloor. The measurements of optical backscatter, chlorophyll-a fluorescence, and colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) fluorescence are vital to our understanding of many of the crucial scientific questions to which the OOI can provide answers. The selected firm will provide approximately 64 Fluorometer / Optical Backscatter Instruments of 5 different series for deployment on fixed platforms at OOI arrays. Ocean Leadership may issue a single award for all CLINs or up to five single - CLIN awards. However, Ocean Leadership will not make more than one award for one series of Fluorometer / Optical Backscatter instrument. Ocean Leadership is seeking firms who are interested in submitting proposals for Fluorometer / Optical Backscatter Instruments. Ocean Leadership is the only point of contact for this procurement. Potential Offerors who intend to submit a proposal should plan on participating in an online informational Bidders' Conference (via WebEx) to be held on March 3, 2011. The purpose of this Bidders' Conference is to provide an overview of the OOI program and design; the roles of the existing Implementing Organizations; and the high-level requirements of this RFP.
