- Description
- ***NOAA's Acquisition & Grants Office, Western Acquisition Division-Boulder, Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR), Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL), intends to negotiation, on a sole source basis, under authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), with American Ecotech, LLC, out of Warren, RI, for an E010004 Ecotech Aurora-3000 multiwave length nephelometer. ***The sole source determination is based on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) requirement that The Ecotech Aurora 3000 is the only instrument that provides measurements at the visible wavelengths comparable to the discontinued and obsolete TSI Integrating Nephelometer 3563 at NOAA / PMEL. The ability to produce similar measurements greatly reduces any discrepancies when comparing with past data. Additionally, other NOAA labs with joint projects (including ESRL Global Monitoring Laboratory) utilize the same instrument further reducing variations in data collection. This instrument, Ecotech Aurora 3000, is the only one that measures light scattering, at wavelengths the same or close to those we require and that is directly compatible to the instrument it is replacing. Delivery of the units no later than 11/01/2022. ***THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS AND NO SOLICITATION PACKAGE IS AVAILABLE. HOWEVER, FIRMS THAT BELIEVE THEY CAN FULLY MEET THE GOVERNMENT'S REQUIREMENTS MAY SUBMIT SUBSTANTIATING DOCUMENTATION IN WRITING TO THE IDENTIFIED POINT OF CONTACT WITHIN 15 DAYS AFTER PUBLICATION OF THIS SYNOPSIS. SUCH DOCUMENTATION WILL BE EVALUATED SOLELY FOR THE PURPOSE OF DETERMINING WHETHER OR NOT TO CONDUCT THIS PROCUREMENT ON A COMPETITIVE BASIS. A DETERMINATION BY THE GOVERNMENT NOT TO CONDUCT A COMPETITIVE PROCUREMENT, BASED UPON RESPONSES TO THIS NOTICE, IS SOLELY WITHIN THE DISCRETION OF THE GOVERNMENT. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE IN RESPONSE TO THIS NOTICE.
