- Description
- Sole Source Justification Notice of Intent: The USDA, ARS, intends to award a sole source procurement to Xylem Inc (a.k.a. YSI Incorporated) 1700 Brannum Lane, Yellow Spring, OH 45387, USA, 1-937-688-4255, as they are the sole source for this type water quality sonde pursuant to the authority of 41 U.S.C. 253 (C)(1) and FAR 6.302-1. Only One Responsible Source and No Other Suppliers or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. The award will be for 2 EXO2 Sondes, 2 EXO Wiped Conductivity/Temperature Sensors, 2 EXO ISE06 pH/ORP Sensor Assembly, 2 EXO Optical DO sensors, 2 EXO Turbidity Sensors, 1 EXO Total Algae sensor, 2 EXO fDOM sensors, 2 EXO Central Wipers, 2 EXO 10-m Field cables, 1 EXO Handheld display 2.0, 1 EXO Go wireless communication device, 1 EXO signal output adapter, 1 EXO Chloride sensor assembly, and 1 EXO2 wheeled hard-sided carrying case. Due to the typical field conditions in Mississippi water bodies, agricultural ditches and drainage pathways, the sonde must have rugged titanium design with a stiff wiping brush to prevent biofouling of sensors. The sonde must have the capability to utilize sensors that measure pH/ORP, DO, turbidity, total algae/phycocyanin, fDOM (dissolved organic matter), and chloride. The battery life must be beyond 60 days. The deployment software must have the capability to set thresholds in biological or physical parameters to change the frequency of data collection. Output format must be compatible for upload into KISTERS WISKI data management software. This notice of intent is not a Request for Competitive Quotes (RFQ) nor is it a Request for Proposals (RFP). No solicitation document is available and telephone requests will not be honored. However, any firm believing itself capable of meeting USDA-ARS requirements may submit technical documentation to establish the potential of complying with the specifications. Such documentation must be submitted to the POC within 7 days of electronic posting of this notice. A determination not to compete the proposed purchase order based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement or to proceed on a sole source basis. Inquiries will only be accepted via e-mail to the Contracting Officer noted above.
