- Description
- This is a notice of intent to solicit from a single source. The Department of the Interior�s Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSMRE) intends to award a sole source purchase order with In-Situ for two (2) Aqua TROLL 700 Water Quality Sonde Instruments. Award will be made in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b)(1) utilizing the provisions, clauses and procedures prescribed in FAR Part 12 entitled, Acquisition of Commercial Items and FAR Part 13 entitled, Simplified Acquisition Procedures. The Aqua TROLL� 700 Water Quality Sonde is a portable, intelligent water quality instrument built to measure and store water level (pressure), temperature, barometric pressure, and water quality data for many applications under many environmental conditions. The instruments outside diameter (OD) allows the instrument to conform to a 2-in./5.08 cm diameter (or larger) well. The Aqua TROLL 700 is recommended for short-term and long-term water quality monitoring in fresh and marine environments including but not limited to spot checking; vertical profiling; horizontal transect; groundwater and surface water quality sampling and long-term monitoring; source/drinking/wastewater monitoring; stormwater management; and other environmental applications in normal and extreme environmental conditions. The inert PC housing and titanium sensing materials allow it to be used in various environments from fresh water to saltwater. The instrument�s LCD screen provides clear, instant visual indicators of overall readiness, sensor status, power voltage, and connectivity. It is easily programmed through the VuSitu� Mobile Application available for Android� devices (Android 4.4, requires Bluetooth� 2.0) or Win-Situ� 5 for Windows�. Users can email data from an Android device via the VuSitu Mobile App; log data to a smartphone; or download data directly to a computer via smartphone connection; tag sites with GPS coordinates; and keep track of sites with photos and descriptions. Calibrations are simplified through auto-detection of calibration solutions and auto-stabilization. Live readings can be taken when used with a Wireless TROLL com, RuggedCable System and VuSitu Mobile Application. The instrument can be deployed using In-Situ�s RuggedCable System, and with In-Situ�s Tube/Cube Telemetry Systems and HydroVu� Data Services for real-time data access. The Aqua Troll Water Quality Sonde was identified as the optimal instrument available for these SMCRA applications and compatible with OSMRE�s existing instruments and software. Extensive market research determined that In-Situ is the only vendor that can provide this specific water quality sonde that will meet OSMRE�s unique needs. The purpose of this notice is to satisfy the requirements of FAR Subpart 5.2. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotes. However, interested responsible parties may respond to this notice by submitting a capability statement by the closing date of this announcement. All submissions will be considered, however there is no guarantee that submissions in response to this notice will in any way alter the Government�s acquisition strategy. No solicitation will be issued. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code � 334513 Instruments and Related Products Manufacturing for Measuring, Displaying, and Controlling Industrial Process Variables, associated size standard of 750 - number of employees apply to this announcement. Product/Service Code - 6695 Combination and Miscellaneous Instruments. Responses or inquiries shall only be accepted through electronic mail addressed to Susan Adams, Contracting Officer, sadams@osmre.gov and must be uploaded and received in their entirety no later than 11:00 AM EDT, September 12, 2024. Responses to this notice shall not be considered as a response to any solicitation, a request to be added to a prospective offerors list, or to receive a copy of any solicitation. A determination by the Government not to compete the contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Note: In order to be eligible for award of a government contract, vendors must be actively registered in the System for Award Management (SAM), have no active exclusions, and complete the FAR representations and certifications. Technical Specifications/Salient Characteristics: Barometric Sensor � Barometric Sensor shall use silicon strain gauge methodology � Sensor range shall be 300 � 1100 mBars � Sensor accuracy shall be � 0.5 mBar � Sensor resolution shall be 0.1 mBar � Sensor depth rating shall meet the highest rating. � Sensor response rate shall be 0.999 for serial dilutions of chlorophyll a in methanol across full range � Sensor depth rating shall meet the highest instrument rating � Sensor response rate shall be 0.999 for serial dilutions of phycocyanin across full range � Sensor depth rating shall meet the highest instrument rating � Sensor response rate shall be 0.999 for serial dilutions of phycoerythrin across full range � Sensor depth rating shall meet the highest instrument rating � Sensor response rate shall be 0.999 for serial dilutions of Rhodamine WT across full range � Sensor depth rating shall meet the highest instrument rating � Sensor response rate shall be <1 seconds. Cables � All cables shall be available as vented and non-vented in either thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) or Tefzel� (ETFE fluoropolymer; generic equivalent to Teflon�). � Cables shall provide water quality instrument users the ability to change cable types. � Cable shall provide water quality instrument users the ability to add to cable lengths using a RuggedCable� Extender. � Cables shall permit users the ability to access data from water quality instruments. � A fully adjustable Kellems� Grip must be included on the supplied cable to suspend the water quality instrument and cable. � On vented cables, a protective cap with a hydrophobic membrane and desiccant must be included at the up-hole end of the cable. Larger desiccant modules that attach to the up-hole end of the cable must be available for high-humidity environments. Desiccants/modules must be replaceable and/or refillable. Mobile Device � Mobile device must run Android� 4.4 operating system or later with Bluetooth� 2.0 or later. � Mobile device shall be waterproof to IP67 for protection against dust and accidental submersion without the use of an external enclosure, such as an OtterBox� case.
