- Description
- ***THE NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION�S (NOAA) ACQUISITION & GRANTS OFFICE (AGO), WESTERN ACQUISITION DIVISION-BOULDER (WAD), OFFICE OF OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC RESEARCH (OAR) CHEMICAL SCIENCES LABORATORY (CSL) INTENDS TO NEGOTIATE, ON A SOLE SOURCE BASIS, UNDER AUTHORITY OF FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), WITH UNIVERSITY OF ATMOSPHERIC RESEARCH (UCAR) LOCATED IN BOULDER, CO FOR HIAPER RACKS TO BE PERFORMED AT BOULDER, CO. ***THE SOLE SOURCE DETERMINATION IS BASED ON NOAA�S REQUIREMENT THAT UCAR IS THE ONLY VENDOR THAT MANUFACTURES AND DISTRIBUTES THIS HIAPER RACK. THE DOUBLE-BAY HIAPER RACK IS CUSTOM-ENGINEERED TO HOUSE THE LToF-MS INSTRUMENT. THE LToF-MS INSTRUMENT CONTRIBUTES DIRECTLY TO THE RESEARCH ON AIR QUALITY AND CLIMATE PERFORMED BY NOAA CSL7, AND THEREFORE HAS BEEN AN INTRGRAL PART OF ALL FIELD EXPERIMENTS BY NOAA CSL7 (MOST RECENTLY, THE NOAA AEROMMA AIRCRAFT MISSION), AND IS ESSENTIAL TO FUTURE MISSIONS THAT WILL RELY UPON THIS INSTRUMENT. UPCOMING NOAA CSL MOBILE LABORATORY AND AIRCRAFT MISSIONS WILL REQUIRE ITS USE. THE ENGINEERING DESIGN FOR THE HIAPER DOUBLE-BAY RACK IS PROPRIETARY TO NCAR, AND THUS CAN ONLY BE FABRICATED BY THE NCAR EARTH OBSERVING LABORATORY DESIGN AND FABRICATIONS SERVICES WORKSHOP. ADDITIONALLY, THE HIAPER DOUBLE-BAY RACK SOURCED FROM NCAR HAS ALREADY BEEN CERTIFIED FOR USE ON RESEARCH AIRCRAFT, WHICH COULD ENSURE A TIMELY DEPLOYMENT OF THE ESSENTIAL LToF-MS INSTRUMENT TO ALSO MEET THE CRITICAL TIMELINES AND RESEARCH GOALS OF THE UPCOMING CAMPAIGN SCHEDULE. DELIVER BY: 06/08/2024 OR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. ***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.
