Description

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Climate Monitoring and Diagnostics Laboratory (CMDL) requires 10 to 30 portable (depending on cost), battery powered atmospheric air samplers. The air sampler shall be lightweight (less than 12 kg) so it is portable for a person of average strength. It shall accommodate two 2.5 L glass NOAA-designed sample containers (40 cm length by 11 cm diameter) and be able to flush them in series at 5 L/min (STP), and then pressurize them to 2-10 psig (user-adjustable) at elevations up to 12.000 feet. The air stream shall be filtered to remove particles greater than 7 microns. Once fully charged, the sampler?s battery shall provide sufficient power for 3 sampling cycles, and the operator shall be able to replace the battery in the field. The samplers shall have flow and voltage meters. Finally, the samplers cannot affect the composition of the air stream to a measurable degree (determined by the measurement precision of the CMDL Carbon Cycle Greenhouse Gases Group analytical systems for carbon dioxide, methane, carbon monoxide, molecular hydrogen, nitrous oxide, sulfur hexafluoride, and carbon and oxygen isotopes of carbon dioxide). This procurement will be conducted under the authority of Part 13.1 (Not to exceed $100,000.00)of the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR). The proposed contract is a 100% Small Business Set-Aside. The NAICS code is 334516 and the size standard is 500 employees. To be eligible for award, offerors shall be registered with the Central Contractor Registration (CCR): www.ccr.gov. Hard copies of the solicitation will be provided in response to written or faxed requests received from the requestor. Telephone requests will not be honored. Requests for copies of the solicitation may be faxed to 303-497-3163. Questions shall be submitted in writing to the Contracting Officer by fax or by e-mail. Anticipated release date of the bid package is April 11, 2005 with an anticipated receipt of quotation date April 28, 2005. Numbered note 1 applies.
