The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2021-07. The associated NAICS code is 334519 Other Measuring and Controlling Devices Manufacturing with a business size standard of 500 employees and the PSC code is 6635. The Department of Agriculture (ARS) has the need for the following products and services: Scope of Work:� Acquire A chlorophyll fluorometer the Vegetable Crops Research Unit at ARS-Madison to enhance vegetable genetic, genomics, and breeding research. Background: The Vegetable Crops Research Unit (VCRU) at USDA-ARS Madison location hosts a dozen research scientists working on genetic improvement of various horticultural crops including development of germplasm for tolerance to various abiotic stresses (drought, cold, heat etc.). One important method to measure stress tolerance is chlorophyll fluorescence analysis using a chlorophyll fluorometer, which has been wide used in stress biology. In the genomics era, a chlorophyll fluorescence analysis system adapting to high throughput phenotyping is very useful. At present, no labs in VCRU have such system that is suitable for high throughout phenotyping for stress tolerance in diverse vegetable crops and is in urgent need by a number of labs in this unit. We are seeking to purchase one to facilitate our genetics/genomics/stress physiology research that will be accessible for all labs in VCRU (and USDA-ARS labs at Madison, WI location). CONTRACTOR REQUIREMENTS Technical Requirements/Tasks:� We are looking for a chlorophyll fluorescence analysis system that can measure various photosynthesis parameters with the following features: Adapted to high throughout phenotyping. Non-destructive measurements of photosynthetic parameters of plants. Can do three-dimensional (3D) imaging with a CCD camera, zoom objective with associated control system. Use LEDs for all light sources. Electric requirements: 100-240 VAC, 50-60Hz. �������� Government Furnished: No. �� Deliverables / Schedule:� Equipment to be delivered to 1575 Linden Drive, Madison, WI 53706. ����������� Travel:� The vendor is responsible for any associated travel cost for installation and/or necessary on-site training of the equipment. �������� Security Requirements:� Installation should be completed during regular business hours (8:00 am to 5:00 pm), Monday through Friday. Evaluation Factors: The government intends to award a firm-fixed price award based on the lowest price technically acceptable service. The lowest priced service will be evaluated first; if not found acceptable, the next lowest priced service will be evaluated, and so on until an acceptable service is identified.
