- Description
- The U.S. Geological Survey intends to make a non-competitive award to UIC, Inc. Located Joliet, IL 60436-8569 for CO2 Coulometer Part# CM5017-01 to be delivered to St. Petersburg, FL within 90 days of award. There are no option periods. We currently possess two CM5014 CO2 Coulometers that are over a decade old. These models utilize antiquated circuitry that displays data on a digital readout that archives to a 3.5 ¿ floppy diskette in.TXT format and prints on continuous stationary. Both have been returned to the manufacturer for maintenance and servicing of the lamp, detector, and internal hardware several times throughout the years, but it is only a matter of time until the model will be unsupported. One of the coulometers is presently unreliable. We are requesting the purchase of the latest CO2 coulometer by IUC, the CM5017. Currently several coastal and open ocean projects greatly rely on heavy use of these instruments and have been ongoing for many years. Therefore the methodology and results will need to be compatible with previous results to provide accurate comparisons. Coulometers made by UIC are the industry standard for total carbon detection according to the Guide for Best Practices for Ocean CO2 Measurements by the Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center and the latest model by UIC would generate seamless results. In accordance with FAR 5.207, all responsible sources may submit a bid, proposal or quotation which shall be considered by the agency, however, THIS NOTICE IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. The Government intends to award this requirement noncompetitively in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). Email responses to abenton@usgs.gov The NAICS code is 334516. The anticipated award date of the contract is 09/15/2016. The anticipated contract will be firm fixed-price. A vendor must be registered at http://www.sam.gov to be awarded the contract.
