- Description
- Notice of Intent: The USDA, ARS, SEA intends to award a sole source procurement to California Analytical Instruments, Inc., 1312 West Grove Avenue, Orange, California 92865, as they are the sole source for this type of instrument pursuant to the authority of 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(l ) and FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. The award will be for a Innova 1512 Photoacoustic Multi-Gas Analyzer. This is a mission critical instrument for the Poultry Research Unit's research in poultry housing management strategies which encompass the effects of lighting, thermal environment, nutrition, and vaccine platform development on live performance and product yield and quality for both eggs and broiler meat. An instrument capable of measuring multiple constituent gases in the commercial poultry house airspace (NH3, CO2, CO, NO2, H2O, CH4) as well as tracer gas (SF6) in one measurement cycle at sub-ppm detection levels is required (e.g. NH3 at 0.2 ppm and SF6 0.004 ppm). In addition, the measurement cycle must be completed in less than 90 seconds to maintain acceptable temporal resolution in data collection and provide cross-compensation for water vapor and other gases which may interfere with accuracy. The instrument will be used for long-term measurement campaigns and thus must employ a photoacoustic spectroscopy-based multi-gas analyzer that does not require consumable materials. The only known source for a photoacoustic multi-gas analyzer that meets these specifications is California Analytical, Inc. This instrument is a replacement for the Innova 1312 which will provide research consistency and similar level accuracy for the constituent gases. CAI is the only known source of the Innova instruments in the U.S. NOTE: THIS NOTICE WAS NOT POSTED TO FEDBIZOPPS ON THE DATE INDICATED IN THE NOTICE ITSELF (26-FEB-2019); HOWEVER, IT DID APPEAR IN THE FEDBIZOPPS FTP FEED ON THIS DATE. PLEASE CONTACT 877-472-3779 or fbo.support@gsa.gov REGARDING THIS ISSUE.
