Description: The U.S. Department of Commerce, NOAA/OAR/ARL/ATDD, plans to solicit and negotiate on a sole source basis, in accordance with FAR 6.302-1, with Atmospheric Research & Analysis for the purchase of TEKRAN used equipment. ARL requests that the equipment described below be acquired using a noncompetitive procurement in support of OAR requirement for atmospheric chemical monitoring. ARL conducts short- and long-term research field intensives, as well as multi-year monitoring efforts to investigate source-receptor relationships in the atmosphere; characterize emission sources; study air-surface exchange processes responsible for pollutant removal; and document trends in atmospheric concentrations of important toxic pollutants. Under the 1990 Amendments to the Clean Air Act, Congress mandated NOAA and the EPA to monitor levels of mercury in the atmosphere. ARL's research and monitoring activities fulfill that mandate and support NOAA's Strategic Plan for Weather and Water research. The purchase price of the used equipment is approximately 10-20% of that of new instrumentation. It is the opinion of the requestor that the value of the component parts in each detector alone is greater than the acquisition price. This reduced acquisition price represents a considerable cost savings for the U.S. taxpayer.
