- Description
- The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Rocky Mountain Research Station (RMRS) intends to award a sole source contract to Picarro, Inc located in Sunnyvale, CA for a CRDS Analyzer for flight ready CO/CO2/CH4/H2O measurements. Analyzer must use 3 mirror cavity ring-down technology. The gas analyzer must meet specifications for measurement precision, measurrement range, stability, and response and be flight ready for deployment in a small, unpressurized aircraft, including a 206 Cessna Stationair. Precision: we require the follwing 1-sigma precision (over 30 seconds) for the range and measurment interval and ambient conditions as shown. CO less than 50 ppb; CH4 less than 5 ppb; CO2 less than 500 ppb; H2O less than 500 ppm. Range: capable of measuring over the following mixing ratio ranges: CO = 25 ppb - 1 ppm; CH4 = 1.5 - 3.0 ppm; CO2 = 300 - 500 ppm; H2O = 0 - 2%. Stability: Drifts due to changes in ambient pressure and temperature must not exceed the following: Max drift with pressure change of 50 mb/min (0.6 Torr/sec): CO less than or equal to 60 ppb; CH4 less than or equal to 10 ppb; CO2 less than or equal to 800 ppb; max drift with temp change of 0.02 degC/min: CO less than 2.5 ppb/degC; CH4 less than 0.25 ppb/deg C; CO2 less than 25 ppb/degC. Response: interval of less than or equal to 5 seconds. Will be used in an unpressurized aircraft and must be able to operate in the range: temp Plus 10 degC to plus 35 degC and up to altitudes of 450 mb. max size (excluding external pump) 19" w x 19" D x 12" H and must be mountable in a standard 19" electronics rack. Steady state power dissipation less than 400 W. The operation software must be able to automatically control a min of 4 external solenoid values for calibration. Anticipated Date of Award: 05/03/2011
