Background: The St. Paul ARS Unit conducts research on the cycling of essential plant nutrients carbon and nitrogen in annual and perennial field crops. The net exchange of carbon especially in these cropping systems has direct impacts on climate change and soil health. The purpose of this research centers around novel cropping systems that can reduce carbon emissions, improve soil quality and water retention, and even sequester carbon over time. Technical Requirements: Required Specifications for a gas flux sensor. Easy set up and operation. Suitable for adverse weather conditions and long-term use. Integrated carbon dioxide and water vapor open-path gas analyzer and 3-D sonic anemometer. Low power consumption. Fully compatible with Campbell Scientific dataloggers. Measurements are temperature compensated without active heat control. Data output rate of at least 20 hz. Field rugged design, sensor glass shields shed water effectively. Full 3-year warranty. Note: Quoted products should be USA Manufactured if at all possible. Evaluation Factors: Lowest price, technically acceptable. The government intends to award a firm-fixed price award based on the lowest price technically acceptable quote.
