- Notice of Intent to Sole Source - IRGASONS Integrated CO2/H2O Open-Path Gas Analyzer and accessories Solicitation Number: AG-64PP-S-16-0012 THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE CONTRACT AND IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. The intent of this special notice is for informational purposes only. The USDA, ARS, Columbia, MO intends to award a sole source procurement under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b), "Soliciting from a single source" based upon only one responsible source capable of meeting the Government's requirement. The USDA intends to award a sole source procurement to Campbell Scientific, Inc. 815 West 1800, Logan, UT 84321. The award will be for an IRGASONS Integrated CO2/H2O Open-Path Gas Analyzer, 3D Sonic Anemometer, micrologger, and cables. The equipment must be an exact match to the two existing devices so that it can be substituted while the deployed devices are returned to the laboratory for calibration. Substitution enables nearly continuous data collection with half the labor and mileage driven of the alternative of remove/calibrate/replace, which would create data gaps for the day required to perform the calibrations. The current existing equipment was purchased from Campbell Scientific. The equipment must be plug-in-and-run compatible, so it must come from Campbell. Based on market research, Campbell is the sole manufacturer and seller of this specific equipment. Due to the proprietary properties of the equipment, Campbell Scientific is the only vendor that is able to supply the equipment and accessories. We must obtain the exact same equipment for compatibility purposes. Based upon the importance of compatibility and the proprietary properties of the equipment, the Open-Path Gas Analyzer and accessories must be purchased from Campbell Scientific. The government intends to award a firm, fixed price Purchase Order for this equipment using Simplified Acquisition Procedures. This Notice of Intent is not considered a Request for Quote (RFQ) nor is it a Request for Proposals (RFP). No solicitation document is available and telephone requests will not be honored. This Notice of Intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all inquiries received by 1pm CST, August 29, 2016 will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. If no written responses are received after the publication of this notice, the purchase will be awarded without further notice. Please email Brionna Wade, Contracting Officer, with responses or questions regarding this requirement at Brionna.Wade@ars.usda.gov
