CAMPBELL SCI #31317; SURGE PROTECTION KIT, TYPE N TO SMA, 700-2700MHZ, 18 INCHES USDA ARS, CROPS RESEARCH LABORATORY (CRL), RANGELAND RESEARCH UNIT (RRSRU), FORT COLLINS, CO, will be purchasing CAMPBELL SCI IP CELLULAR GATEWAYS & TB4MM PRECIPITATION GAUGES & associated components that are compatible & identical with their USDA existing owned equipment and that of their Collaborators in support of their ongoing research. Campbell Sci meteorological measurement equipment is currently used by RRSRU CRL, and existing Campbell Sci equipment (power supplies, instrumentation tower, and soil moisture sensors) will be used in conjunction with the new equipment to instrument meteorological stations at novel locations. For cross-site comparisons, it is necessary to obtain the same manufactured equipment to limit scientific variability and ensure scientific integrity. While item #3, Sierra Wireless Gateway is not manufactured by Campbell Sci, they are the sole company that provides all of the components needed together, to work in conjunction with the equipment they manufacture. Campbell Sci purchases this and re-cables and reprograms to work with their equipment. If purchased separately it would not work in conjunction with this system. Therefore, using the same types of sensors, equipment & associated components, not only insures data compatibility, but also maintain continuity in their research results. Pursuant to the authority of 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. The award date will be on or about July 25, 2017; and this Notice of Intent is not considered as a Request for Quotation (RFQ) nor is it a Request for Proposals (RFP). No solicitation document is available and telephone requests will not be honored. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to this requirement. A determination, by the Government, to compete this proposed PO based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. The Government will consider all responses received by 10:30AM PST, July 25, 2017. Information received will be considered solely for determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Inquiries will only be accepted via email to the Primary Point of Contact: Shannon.Boyd@ars.usda.gov.
