The Department of Agriculture (ARS) has the need for the following products and services: Scope of Work: The USDA-ARS National Laboratory for Agriculture and the Environment (NLAE) in Ames, IA is seeking sources for a multi-parameter water-quality sonde. Background: Multi-parameter water-quality sonde for in-situ monitoring of water-quality parameters during long-term deployments. Current network of water-quality sondes used for the research projects consists of eight OTT Hydromet HL7 waterquality sondes with customized sensors. An additional HL7 sonde was acquired in FY20 for deployment at a research site. An additional compatible sonde has become necessary as research needs have expanded. Continuation of long-term water-quality monitoring of multiple ARS benchmark CEAP watersheds. Technical Requirements: 1. Sonde must be compatible with existing network of OTT Hydromet HL7 water-quality sondes. Data output (especially turbidity) must be consistent with data output from turbidity sensors currently in use 2. Sonde must have ability to integrate into existing Campbell Scientific datalogger network for data output continuity and uniformity 3. Sonde must allow for continuous, extended, unattended deployment 4. Sonde must have communications interface options of SDI-12, RS-485, RS232, and USB 5. Sonde must have internal and external battery power capability 6. Sonde must include stainless steel temperature sensor 7. Sonde must include integrated self-cleaning turbidity sensor with wiper capable of a measuring 0-3000 NTU 8. Sonde must include integrated high-precision optical luminescent dissolved oxygen sensor capable of measuring 0-60 mg/L 9. Sonde must include integrated open cell conductivity sensor capable of measuring 0-100 mS/cm 10. Sonde must include integrated pH/ORP sensor with integrated reference capable of measuring 0-14 pH and -999 to 999 mV 11. Sonde must include integrated stainless steel chlorophyll a sensor 12. Sonde must include central wiper/brush for minimization of biofouling 13. Sonde must include SDI-12 communications module 14. Sonde must include 15m deployment cable 15. Sonde must include calibration cable 16. Quoted unit shall include minimum one-year warranty Evaluation Factors: The government intends to award a firm-fixed price award based on the lowest price technically acceptable service.
