- Description
- This notice is being published in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 5.101 requiring the dissemination of information for proposed contract actions. This is a notice of intent to award a sole source contract and is not a request for competitive proposals. The United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) intends to issue a sole source, firm-fixed-price contract to Campbell Scientific for solar radiation, temperature and relative humidity sensors and GOES radio transmitters for their National Water and Climate Center (NWCC). The National Water and Climate Center (NWCC) collects data from multiple Meteorburst master stations in order to obtain remote station data from SNOTEL and SCAN systems and is in need for modified Climate Sensors and Data Acquisition to include; Rotronic Hygroclip Temperature/RH Probes modified to accommodate specific programming for consistent measurements throughout the SNOTEL/SCAN network including custom wiring to meet SNOTEL/SCAN standard wiring scheme. LI-COR Pyronometer customized for consistent calibration factor throughout the network, LI2003S LI-COR Leveling Base, CM225 Solar Sensor Mounting Stand, CS210 Enclosure Humidity Sensor, 05103 Wind Monitor, and CR1000 Datalogger. Modifications to the sensors are primarily to the cabling color code, cable type and pre-calibration. These sensors and dataloggers are used in essential engineering research and development projects with field applications throughout the USDA-NRCS. These projects range from helping to monitor and predict the snowmelt runoff and required reservoir storage to crop water uses. USDA-NRCS has invested many hours refining the interfacing between the MCC545 and 565 radio and the CRlOOO data logger as well as the programming of the logger to accommodate the customized sensors. All remote stations operate against a proprietary operating system. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement demonstrating the ability to provide the requested items or exception to the intent to purchase on a sole source basis, which shall be considered by the Government if received by Monday, 12 May 2014 at 11:00 a.m., local time, Fort Worth, Texas (Central Time). Written responses to this synopsis shall contain sufficient documentation to establish a bonafide capability to fulfill the requirement. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. A determination not to compete this requirement, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government. NRCS will not be responsible for any costs incurred by interested parties in responding to this notice. The Government is not obligated to and will not pay for any information received from potential sources as a result of this synopsis. Please email Darin Wilson at george.wilson@ftw.usda.gov with responses or questions regarding this requirement. This notice will close on 12 May 2014 at 11:00 a.m. Central Time.
