The U.S. Department of Commerce, National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), proposes to negotiate on a sole source basis contract under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 253(c) with TSI Incorporated of St. Paul, Minnesota for an ultra fine condensation particle counter ? Model 3025A. The particle counter will be used for calibration of custom aerosol composition and counting instruments as well as for ambient particle counting in field studies. Critical specifications as follows: 1) detect aerosol with diameters between 3 and 3000 nm; 2) better than 10% particle concentration accuracy; 3) a maximum measurable particle concentration of a t least 10 (4) particles cm minus 3; 4) a continuous flow design (inlet flow of 30 cubic cm per min; 5) fast time response (1 s); and 6) RS-232 communication interface. It is the Governments belief that the instrument from TSI Inc. is the only unit available that meets all the required specifications. Furthermore, NOAA currently has several TSI counters in the lab and custom data acquisition software has already been developed for these counters for their applications. This procurement is being conducted per FAR Part 13.1, Simplified Acquisition Procedures (under $100K). This notice is for information purposes only. No competitive solicitation is planned.
