Description

NOAA'S ACQUISITION & GRANTS OFFICE, WESTERN ACQUISITION DIVISION-BOULDER, AIR RESOURCES LABORATORY (ARL), ATMOSPHERIC MODELING AND SCIENCES DIVISION (ASMD) OFFICE, INTENDS TO NEGOTIATE, ON A SOLE SOURCE BASIS, UNDER AUTHORITY OF FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), WITH PICARRO FOR A NEW G2301 CONCENTRATION ANALYZER AND A0950 RACK MOUNT CONFIGURATION TO BE DELIVERED TO BOULDER, CO. THE SOLE SOURCE DETERMINATION IS BASED ON THE NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION'S (NOAA) REQUIREMENT THAT PICARRO IS THE ONLY VENDOR THAT MANUFACTURES AND DISTRIBUTES THIS ANALYZER. PICARRO�S ANALYZER MEASURES ATMOSPHERIC CONCENTRATIONS OF CO2, CH4 AND H2O BASED ON FAST CAVITY RING-DOWN SPECTROSCOPY. INSTRUMENT MODEL G2301 MEASURES THESE COMPOUNDS WITH THE REQUIRED PRECISION WHEN THE FREQUENCY MEASUREMENTS (1HZ) ARE AVERAGED OVER 30-60 SECONDS. APPLICATION OF WAVELENGTH CONTROL MONITORING AND VERY GOOD THERMAL AND PRESSURE CONTROL SHOULD PROVIDE LONG TERM STABILITY. PICARRO INSTRUMENTS HAVE BEEN USED SUCCESSFULLY IN OUR PROGRAMS FOR SEVERAL YEARS UNDER DIFFICULT MEASUREMENT ENVIRONMENTS.� THESE MEASUREMENTS ARE THEN COMPARED WITH MODEL PREDICTIONS WHICH CALCULATE EXPECTED CONCENTRATIONS AT THE RECEPTOR SITE USING KNOWN EMISSION RATES OF SO2 AND CO2 FROM THE PLANTS COUPLED WITH MODEL ESTIMATES OF TRANSPORT AND DISPERSION IN THE ATMOSPHERE BETWEEN THE SOURCE AND RECEPTOR. COMPARING MEASURED AND MODELED RESULTS ALLOWS FOR THE EVALUATION AND IMPROVEMENT OF ARL�S HYSPLIT MODEL BY INCORPORATING AND TESTING DIFFERING PARAMETERIZATION SCHEMES THAT MOST ACCURATELY REPRESENT ATMOSPHERIC MIXING AND TURBULENT TRANSPORT. HYSPLIT IS WIDELY USED THROUGHOUT THE GLOBAL ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCE COMMUNITY, AND IS ALSO CRUCIAL FOR EMERGENCY RESPONSE AND NATIONAL SECURITY.� IIT IS THE ONLY INSTRUMENT TO DO CONTINUOUS AND AUTONOMOUS MEASUREMENTS WITHIN THE REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS OF THE GREENHOUSE GAS CONCENTRATION MONITORING PROGRAM. DELIVERY WITHIN 60 DAYS FROM DATE OF AWARD. THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS AND NO SOLICITATION PACKAGE IS AVAILABLE. HOWEVER, FIRMS THAT BELIEVE THEY CAN FULLY MEET THE GOVERNMENT'S REQUIREMENTS MAY SUBMIT SUBSTANTIATING DOCUMENTATION IN WRITING TO THE IDENTIFIED POINT OF CONTACT WITHIN 15 DAYS AFTER PUBLICATION OF THIS SYNOPSIS. SUCH DOCUMENTATION WILL BE EVALUATED SOLELY FOR THE PURPOSE OF DETERMINING WHETHER OR NOT TO CONDUCT THIS PROCUREMENT ON A COMPETITIVE BASIS. A DETERMINATION BY THE GOVERNMENT NOT TO CONDUCT A COMPETITIVE PROCUREMENT, BASED UPON RESPONSES TO THIS NOTICE, IS SOLELY WITHIN THE DISCRETION OF THE GOVERNMENT. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE IN RESPONSE TO THIS NOTICE.
