- Description
- The U.S. Department of Agriculture, ARS Conservation & Production Research Laboratory, LNMRU (2300 Experiment Station Road, Bushland, Texas 79012) intends to issue a sole source award to THERMO ENVIRONMENTAL INSTRUMENTS, LLC, 27 Forge Parkway, Franklin, MA 02038 for a continuous monitoring, chemiluminescence-based, ammonia analyzer for use in established GHG flux chamber research. Pursuant to the authority of the FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i). Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. Specifications for Continuous Monitoring, Chemiluminescence-based, Ammonia Analyzer •Continuous real time measurement of gaseous ammonia, measurement range between 0.01ppm to 100ppm NH4, as well as measurement of NO, NO2, NOx, and Nt. •Utilize Chemiluminescence methodology as the operating principle. Required because this is the USEPA reference standard. •Replaceable NO2 and NH3 converter cartridges. •Internal Zero / Span for onsite calibrations. •Output signals: 6 channels 0-20, 4-20mA current. •Input signals: 8 channels, 0-10V analog. •115VAC 50/60Hz standard American electrical power. •Rack mount configuration with ears and handles In addition to the above minimum specifications the USEPA, as well as a variety of European authorities, have selected the chemiluminescence method for measurement of gaseous ammonia as the reference standard. Therefore, the LNMRU has determined that studies measuring ammonia flux should utilize the standard reference method in order to compare results directly to the existing body of research. This posting is a NOTICE OF INTENT and is not a request for quotations or proposals. No solicitation document is available and telephone requests for information will not be accepted. Potential sources who believe that they are capable of proving these supplies/services are invited to submit, in writing, substantiating documentation to the identified point of contact by no later than 15 days of the publication of this notice.
