- Description
- The U. S. Geological Survey, Water Resources Division, has a requirement for a benchtop liquid-water isotope analyzer. The analyzer must be designed for rapid isotopic analysis of water and be based on high-resolution direct absorption spectroscopy. It must also be rugged and suitable for studies of water isotopes in the field. It shall be direct-inject and provide accurate measures of the 18O/16O, 17O/16O, and D/H isotope ratios in liquid-water samples with high precision (better than 0.5?, 1.0?, and 2.0? respectively) and response times of less than 1 minute. It shall be capable of self-calibrating and provide an absolute, accurate measurement of isotopes in water without the need fort expensive reference waters. Based on information available at this time, and in accordance with 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1), implemented by FAR 6.302-1, the Government considers the services specified as a sole source from Los Gatos Research, 67 E. Evelyn Ave., Mountain View, CA, and proposes to negotiate a contract with that firm. However, should additional sources be identified, they will be considered. Firms who feel that they can furnish the required services are invited to submit in writing an affirmative response to this announcement. An affirmative response would include literature, brochures and such other materials, which correspond to the required items stated herein. This information will be evaluated and used to determine if competitive opportunities exist. Since no solicitation document exists, requests for such document without accompanying information will be considered non-responsive to this request without further consideration. This notice may represent the Government's only official notice to the procurement.
