- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL) intends to award a contract on a sole source basis to Silixa LLC upon the basis of the authority provided at FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). ERDC-CRREL intends to purchase one (1) Silixa LLC Ultima-XT distributed temperature sensor (DTS). This is a replacement purchase necessary to continue an ongoing experiment. ERDC-CRREL requires an exact replacement in order to continue the experiment while maintaining integrity and consistency with data collected with the previous instrument. The previous instrument was destroyed in an accident; the replacement unit must remain fully connective with portions of CRREL's fiber optic array that were not destroyed. As such, no other DTS units can be considered for this requirement. The DTS unit must be a stand-alone unit with an on-board PC and user-friendly software interface and 4 optical channels. The unit must provide temperature and spatial resolution from 0.01˚C and 35cm optimized for ranges up to 10km. It must be configurable to produce both single-ended and double-ended measurements with minimum measurement time of 1 second. The unit must be able to operate in temperatures from -40°C to +65°C; on solar or wind power without compromising the superior accuracy and reliability. The unit must have self-calibrating utility and on-board solid state storage. The unit must be able to be configured and controlled remotely via a wireless or satellite link enabling remote data collection. This Notice of Intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to this requirement. Any interested party that believes they can fulfill this requirement should submit a capability statement to be reviewed. All submissions will be considered, however there is no guarantee that submissions in response to this notice will in any way alter the Government's acquisition strategy. Please provide responses to this notice no later than 09:00 AM CT, 26 December 2015 to: Tom.F.Nowocin@usace.army.mil Telephone responses will not be accepted. Responses to this notice will not be considered as a response to any solicitation, a request to be added to a prospective offerors list, or to receive a copy of any solicitation. A determination by the Government not to compete the contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
