- Announcement of Opportunity (RFP) 1410-00005 Request for Proposals for providing Dissolved Oxygen and Dissolved Nitrate Instruments on Fixed Platforms (OOI) The Consortium for Ocean Leadership, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as "Ocean Leadership"), with funding from the National Science Foundation, is soliciting proposals from qualified organizations interested in providing two classes of instruments--dissolved oxygen (O2) instruments (DO2) and dissolved nitrate (NO3-) instruments (NUTNR)--and related services to support the objective of the Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI). The OOI will construct a networked infrastructure of oceanic sensor systems to measure physical, chemical, geological, and biological variables in the ocean and seafloor. The measurements of dissolved oxygen and dissolved nitrate in water are vital to our understanding of many of the crucial scientific questions to which the OOI can provide answers. Ocean Leadership is seeking firms who are interested in submitting proposals for the DO2 and NUTNR Instruments. Offerors may submit proposals for either or both of these classes. The selected firm(s) will provide approximately 78 DO2 Instruments across 5 different series and approximately 28 NUTNR instruments across 2 different series for deployment on fixed platforms at OOI arrays. The two classes of instruments may be awarded separately or both may be awarded to the same vendor. For the DO2 Instruments, Ocean Leadership may issue a single award for all CLINs or up to five single-CLIN awards. For the NUTNR instruments, Ocean Leadership may issue a single award for all CLINs or up to two single-CLIN awards. Ocean Leadership will not make more than one award for any one series of instruments within an instrument class. Ocean Leadership is the only point of contact for this procurement. Potential Offerors who intend to submit a proposal should plan on participating in an online informational Bidders' Conference (via WebEx) to be held on April 1, 2011. The purpose of this Bidders' Conference is to provide an overview of the OOI program and design; the roles of the existing Implementing Organizations; and the high-level requirements of this RFP. Prospective bidders are encouraged to participate but must inform the Ocean Leadership Director of Contracts and Grants of their intent to attend by e-mailing their request to RFP1410-00005@oceanleadership.org by 1:00 PM EDT (10 AM PDT) March 31, 2011. Include the phrase "RFP 1410-00005 Bidders Conference" in the subject line of your email. Instructions on how to participate in this conference through WebEx will be provided upon receipt of this email. PLEASE NOTE: The Bidder's Conference may be attended by RSVP only. Email a signed offer/proposal in PDF format by 4PM EDT (1 PM PDT) on April 20, 2011, to RFP1410-00005@oceanleadership.org, and include the phrase "RFP 1410-00005" in the subject line of the email. In addition, mail a signed offer/proposal, which must be received no later than April 25, 2011, to the following address: Jeanine Hubler, CFCM Director of Contracts and Grants The Consortium for Ocean Leadership, Inc. 1201 New York Ave, NW, Suite 400 Washington, DC 20005 Specific proposal submission requirements are provided in the RFP.
