- Description
- The United States Geological Survey located in Vancouver WA intends to make a non-competitive award to Chalmers University of Technology for twelve Network for Observation of Volcanic and Atmospheric Change Scanners (NOVAC Scanners). NOVAC Scanners are the only known instrument specifically designed for permanent installation in the field and continuous monitoring of volcanic SO2 and BrO emission rates. The scanners are designed for permanent installation and continuous exposure to harsh volcanic environments and offer features specific to volcanic plume monitoring such as the capability of determining plume speed or the ability to cover a large range of wind directions by use of a conical scan geometry. The NOVAC Scanners are the only instruments that can be integrated into the existing Network for Observation of Volcanic and Atmospheric Change. This network consists of close to 70 instruments worldwide monitoring gas emissions from active volcanoes. All instruments in the network have the same technical specifications. This allows the spectroscopy data collected at any given volcano to be directly compared to data measured elsewhere in the network. This comparability makes the data extremely valuable for eruption forecasting and is a major advantage of this specific instrumentation. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency no later than 3PM EST Friday, March 15, 2016. All questions pertaining to this solicitation must be submitted to the Contracting Officer by 03:00pm EST on March 7, 2016. An RFQ may be provided upon request on or about March 9, 2016. All interested parties must include the following: 1. Capability statement describing corporate expertise and technical qualifications in the product described above. 2. Technical Specifications of the product being provided. 3. Business Size status of vendor ( Ie. Small, 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, Large, etc.) 4. Point of contact information for vendor. 5. Any other information that will prove the vendor is capable of meeting this requirement. Submissions shall be emailed only to the attention of the Contracting Officer, Gerry Lewandowski, at glewando@usgs.gov NOTE: All information submitted in response to this announcement is voluntary - the Government will not pay for information requested nor will it compensate any respondent for any cost incurred in developing information provided to the Government. Materials submitted to the Government for review will not be returned. All questions, concerns, and information being provided may be submitted to the Contracting Officer via email only.
