The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2021-07. This solicitation will be a 100% Total Small Business Set-Aside. The associated NAICS code is 334513 Instruments and Related Products Manufacturing for Measuring, Displaying and Controlling Industrial Process Variables business size standard of 750 employees and the PSC code is 6680. The Department of Agriculture (ARS) has the need for the following products and services: Scope of Work: Purpose is to procure four multiparameter water quality sondes with real-time nitrate, conductivity, turbidity, and dissolved oxygen sensors. The sondes will allow to measure additional water quality variables in subsurface drainage systems, particularly in settings where there is drainage water management. This will improve our understanding of nutrient and hydrologic dynamics in these systems. ����������� Background: �SDRU is conducting research in Northwest and Central, Ohio to examine how agricultural conservation practices impact nutrient losses at the edge-of-field. The data collected from the sondes will add to our existing dataset to better understand how drainage water management impacts hydrologic losses from agricultural fields in Ohio. The data collected from these sondes can also be used for existing and new projects with LTAR, Ohio State University, University of Kentucky, and other research institutions in which our unit collaborates with. CONTRACTOR REQUIREMENTS ����������� Technical Requirements/Tasks:� Provide and deliver four water quality sondes with sensors with the following characteristics/capabilities: The sondes should be equipped with 5 sensor ports with a central wiper with a depth range of 0-10meters The sondes should include a nitrate sensor that uses UV LEDS The sondes should include a turbidity sensor that reads from 0-4000FNU The sondes should include an optical DO sensor The sondes should include a conductivity and temperature sensor The sondes should include a 10 meter flying lead cable ������ Deliverables / Schedule:� The drone should be delivered before September 1st to be deployed for field testing. ����������� Sondes and sensors components.���� � ����� �� � � �� Multiparameter Sondes Conductivity/Temperature sensors �Optical DO sensors Turbidity sensors Central Wiper Nitrate UV LED sensor 10meter Flying Lead Cable Signal output adapter-USB Conductivity Calibrator Turbidity STD Nitrate Calibration standard 10mg/L Delivery location:�� USDA/ARS; Attn: Jedediah Stinner, 590 Woody Hayes Dr., Columbus, Ohio 43210 Evaluation Factors: The government intends to award a firm-fixed price award based on the lowest price technically acceptable service.
