- Description
- The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Snake River Field Station, Boise, ID, has a requirement a bench top isotopic measuring system, a Picarro G2121-I, Delta 13C Analyzer, with a Picarro A0301 Liaison Interface Module, and a Picarro A0502 Guaranteed Ambient Isotopic CO2 Specification. The USGS requires an instrument capable of analyzing C 13; C12 in CO2 generated from combustion of solid (soil, plant, organic material) or gas samples via absorption spectroscopy. Used will include assessing differences in plant water use efficiency, trophic relationships, and studying fate of carbon in ecosystems as it is affected by climate and other factors. At a minimum all offered equipment must generate C13: C12 ratios for liquid, soil, plant, or other organic samples in real time and be capable of high-throughput (>50 samples per day), integrated with a single instrument to provide flash combustion necessary to deliver CO2 and can serve as an elemental analyzer determining carbon and nitrogen content, foot print cannot exceed 24 X 24, must be portable (less than 60 lbs.), optional field settings, certifiable and guaranteed precision standards of <0.4% for Delta C13 based on the Pee Dee Belemnite Reporting Standards, option to analyze C13 in dissolved carbon in water. Based on the above requirements, we intend to negotiate on a sole source basis with Picarro Inc., Santa Clara, CA, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1 (b) and the procedures in FAR Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items. Other interested concerns having the ability to meet the USGS requirement may submit a capabilities statement to the Contracting Officer no later than the closing date of this announcement at 2:00 PM PDT.
