- Description
- The US EPA intends to procure on a sole source basis a set of components and subsystems that comprise weather stations from Campbell Scientific for the Office of Research and Development (ORD), National Risk Management Research Laboratory (NRMRL). These components and subsystems must interface with existing sensor-logger inventory so as to compose a complete system for sensing of environmental data for green infrastructure projects implemented pursuant to research under the Safe and Sustainable Water Resources Program. The components include radios, modems, sensors, connectors, and subsystems that comprise weather stations. A list of the main items required is below: *5ET Stations *2 900 MHz Spread Spectrum Radio Kits *3 900 MHz Spread Spectrum Radios (tested -25 to 50 C) *5 800 MHz 1dBd Omni Cellular Antennas *6 900 MHz 3dBd Omni Antennas *3 Wireless Sensor Bases 900 MHz *30 Wireless Soil Water Probes 900 MHz (Alk Batt w/lid) *30 Wireless Soil Water Probes 900 MHz (RC Batt w/Solar Panels) *4 Water Conductivity Probes 25 ft cable per probe *2 Water Conductivity Probes -- 45 ft cable per probe *4 Measurement & Control Dataloggers (Tested -25 to 50 C) *3 Weather-Resistant 16X18 inch enclosures *5 12v Charging Regulators *512cm Water Content Reflectometers -- Plus 25 ft cable per probe *Various mounting kits, cables and accessories. The nature of the acquisition requires a contractor that possesses the unique capabilities of supplying a broad range of components and subsystems to complete EPA's present gaps in existing Campbell Scientific inventory so as to assemble complete monitoring systems for green infrastructure research in various US locations. To meet the Government's needs, the components and subsystems must be compatible with EPA's existing Campbell Scientific inventory, and the Campbell Scientific equipment used by EPA's partners at the USGS. Since the order list is extensive, the sole source justification centers on compatibility issues among Campbell and other brand gear regardless of comparability amongst different brand's technical specifications. In addition, utilizing equipment from the same vendor would decrease problems caused by calibrations and specifications that vary across brands. THIS NOTICE IS NOT A REQUEST FOR QUOTATIONS. However, any firm that believes it is capable of meeting this EPA requirement must submit technical documentation to establish its assertion. This documentation must be submitted to the POC within fifteen (15) days of the electronic posting of this notice. Telephone requests will not be honored. A determination not to compete the proposed requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the EPA. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement or to proceed on a sole source basis. The anticipated award date is March 18, 2013.
