- Description
- This is NOT a request for quote- USDA, ARS, Western Business Service Center (WBSC), Acquisition Branch intends to award a sole source purchase order to Polytec, Inc., 16400 Bake Pkwy Ste 200, Irvine, CA, 92618-5603 for a Polytec laser vibrometer (Model PDV-100). This instrument is unique because it is the only vibrometer that can operate on battery power, it is compatible with existing vibrometer equipment in the laboratory (i.e. with other vibrometers, softwares, and hardwares made by Polytec). It is portable, has variable focus optics with spot size in microns, which is very important while focusing on small structures such as plant stems, has a broad dynamic range (<0.02 microns/s to 0.5 m/s), and it uses a class 2 laser, which is eye safe. Due to the compact design range and built-in digital features, it provides the best signal/noise ratio when compared to other laser vibrometers. Based on the features listed above, the PDV-100 appears to be the only vibrometer available in the market place that satifies the intended use and the agency requirements for research. Our justification to award is in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1 - Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. All inquiries on this action can be submitted in writing via email to vinay.kaul@ars.usda.gov NO LATER THAN 3 JUN 2015 @ 4:30PM PST. All information shall be furnished at no cost or obligation to the Government.
