Description

***NOAA'S ACQUISITION & GRANTS OFFICE, WESTERN ACQUISITION DIVISION-BOULDER, OFFICE OF ATMOSPHERIC RESEARCH, GREAT LAKES ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH LAB/R/GLERL, INTENDS TO NEGOTIATE ON A SOLE SOURCE BASIS UNDER AUTHORITY OF FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), WITH PP SYSTEM INTERNATIONAL INC OUT OF AMESBURY, MA FOR A FLUOROPROBE III SUBMERSIBLE SPECTROPHOTOMETER WITH THE FOLLOWING ADDITIONAL MEASUREMENTS: (1)The instrument must have the ability to differentiate algal classes, by comparing measurements to a preprogrammed known algal fluorescence library of algal classes (2)The instrument must (a) emit light at six or more selected excitation wavelengths - (at a minimum: 370nm, 450nm, 525nm, 570nm, 590nm, and 610 nm) (b) have narrow band pass filters to allow detection of specific emission wavelengths (3)The instrument must be self-correcting for strength of the LED light sources. (4)The instrument must be submersible up to 200m depth (5)The instrument must have the capability of being either real-time, with data sent back to a computer during deployment or stand-alone, with data uploaded to a computer at the end of a sampling period (6)The multi-spectral, in situ spectrophotometer must include, as part of the operating package, the software necessary to run the instrument and to discern the quantities of the algal groups based on the data provided by the spectrophotometer (7)Must include a yellow substances sensor (8)The instrument should include a transmissometer to correct the quantity of suspended particles in the water (9)The instrument must measure water temperature (10)The instrument must be adaptable to measure the same variables in water samples in the laboratory (11) The instrument must have an auto-start plug and have internal batteries and memory (12) Must communicate through RS485/USB communications interface (13) Must have a chlorophyll �a measuring range of 0-200ug (14) Must have at least a 2GB memory card ***THE SOLE SOURCE DETERMINATION IS BASED ON THE NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION'S (NOAA) REQUIREMENT THAT PP SYSTEM INTERNATIONAL INC IS THE SOLE ENTITY IN THE UNITED STATES THAT CAN MEET AND PROVIDE THE REQUIRED FLUOROPROBE III SUBMERSIBLE SPECTROPHOTOMETER, WHICH IS A PROPRIETARY SYSTEM THAT ALLOWS FOR THE MEASUREMENT OF CHLOROPHYLL CONTENT IN WATER AND QUANTITATIVE DETERMINATION OF DIFFERENT ALGAL LEVELS, AND INCLUDES A PRESSURE SENSOR, YELLOW SUBSTANCES SENSOR, AND AN INTERNAL DATA LOGGER FOR ADDITIONAL MEASUREMENTS. NO OTHER KNOWN FLUOROMETER CAN MEET ALL REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS. THIS ACQUISITION IS NEEDED BY MAY 1, 2022. ***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.
