- Description
- The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Agricultural Research Service (ARS), Rangeland Resources Research Unit (RRRU) in Cheyenne, WY intends to negotiate a sole source contract with LI-COR, Inc. in Lincoln, NE for the purchase of one Li-6400XTR Portable Photosynthesis and Fluorescence System with Field Stand Leg Extenders and a three-day "Gas Exchange and Fluorescence Training" for two. The RRRU currently uses several LI-6400XTR Portable Photosynthesis and Fluorescence Systems, in collaboration with other research units. It is necessary to obtain the same instruments already in use to limit scientific variability between instruments. Changing the brand of Portable Photosynthesis and Fluorescence Systems could allow for variability, which would impair the research. This research requirement creates the need to negotiate a sole source award for the procurement action described above. This is a notice of intent and is not a request for competitive quotations or proposals. No solicitation is available. Firms that believe they can provide equal or superior products are encouraged to identify themselves and provide a substantive statement with descriptive literature and any other supporting information to the Contracting Officer within 10 days of publication of this notice. All information received within 10 days of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government to determine if more than one firm can meet the Government's requirements and is capable of providing equal or superior products. All responses must be in writing and may be faxed to the attention of Molly Jackson at (970) 492-7038, or emailed to molly.jackson@ars.usda.gov. Questions concerning this acquisition must be directed to Molly Jackson at the above contact information.
