- Description
- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Research and Development Center (ERDC), Geotechnical and Structures Laboratory (GSL) intends to issue a sole source award to Phenospex B.V. of Herleen, Netherlands to procure a Phenospex MicroScan (1x PlantEye F500), Hortcontrol Low Throughput Control software license, handheld barcode reader (BC-HR), and associated installation and training. The Phenospex microscanner and associated items meet GSL�s requirement for a 3D multispectral (RGB, near-infrared) plant scanning system that can operate in a variety of different climates. The system must: Conduct 3D LiDAR fused multi-spectral scans simultaneously, reducing measurement time. A single device accomplishes this task rather than multiple devices. Make measurements in the red (624 to 634 nm), green (530 to 550 nm), blue (465 to 485 nm), and near-infrared (720 to 750 nm) spectral bands. Be lightweight and mobile so it can be packed in a small pelican case and shipped to wherever is needed. Be able to operate in a variety of different indoor and outdoor climates that can be subject to different atmospheric conditions (i.e., arctic, desert, tropical). Operate in natural sunlight, artificial lighting, and darkness. Automatically calculate biomass, height, leaf area, leaf angle and inclination, light penetration, normalized difference vegetation index, senescence reflectance index, normalized pigment chlorophyl index, and greenness. This system is manufactured and distributed solely by Phenospex B.V. The award will be issued in accordance with FAR 13.106(b)(1)(i). The applicable North American Industrial Classification System Code (NAICS) code is 541715 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Nanotechnology and Biotechnology)�with a small business standard of 1000 employees. This notice of intent is for information purposes only. This notice is not a request for competitive quotes or proposals. A solicitation will not be issued.� However, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency. The information submitted must be provided in sufficient detail to demonstrate the vendor�s ability to fulfill this requirement. Respondents to this notice must provide: the manufacturer�s part numbers for offered products; product specifications; statement as to whether offered products are commercially available; warranties offered on the products; and lead time for delivery. Any offeror shall be required to register in the Government�s System for Award Management (SAM) at www.SAM.gov. Respondents must provide their full legal name; authorized contact�s name, title, email and phone number; legal address; link to registration in www.SAM.gov; and their firm�s business size declaration as well as the firm�s socio-economic status, if any (e.g. Large Business, Small Busines, Women-Owned Small Business, Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business, etc.). Respondents must also provide a description of their past experience in fulfilling requirements, which are the same or similar to this requirement, and provide references for each. � � Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the government. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice.� Responses to this requirement may be submitted to Lisa Bucci in writing at Lisa.Bucci@usace.army.mil. The SAM.gov posting number, W912HZ21N8169, shall be included in the subject line of the e-mail submission.� Responses must be received no later than 5:00PM CST July 14, 2021.
