About this file

This document is a set of mandatory general chamber requirements for a federal contract opportunity. The key details are:

The contract opportunity is for the purchase of two walk-in growth chambers for the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agricultural Research Service (ARS) Pacific West Area in Hilo, Hawaii. The chambers must meet specific electrical, heat rejection, compressed air, and purified water requirements, as well as be capable of remote access and management integration. The chambers' plant growth lighting must match the spectral distribution properties of the existing lighting systems.

The solicitation number is 12905B24Q0227, and the associated NAICS code is 334516 with a small business size standard of 1,000. Offers are due by 12:00 pm CT on August 22, 2024, and must be submitted to the contracting officer via email.

1.0 Meet existing building design parameters:

1.1 Electrical Service: Main electrical service shall be compatible to be integrated with the following electrical services:

1.1.1 Inside building at control panel: 120/208volt, 3 phase, 60 cycle, four wire plus ground. Maximum MOP allowable = 50 amps

1.1.2 Inside building at chemical drier: 208-230volt, 3 phase, 60 cycle, three wire plus ground. Maximum MOP allowable = 30 amps

1.1.3 Exterior building at C/U: 208/230volt, 3 phase, 60 cycle, four wire plus ground. Maximum MOP allowable = 50 amps

1.2 Heat Rejection to Ambient: Chamber and Chemical Drier combined shall not expel greater than 10,200btu/hr to the building ambient.

1.3 Compressed Air: Maximum compressed air requirement shall not exceed 3.75 CFM @ 50psi

1.4 Purified Water: Maximum purified water requirement shall not exceed 2.1USGPH.

1.5 Location of growth chamber and air-cooling units (not to scale) 1.6

2.0 Controls and Management Integration

2.1 Remote Access and Management: Chambers shall be configured for, and capable of, fully integrating into the existing central management system for control, alarming and data collection activities.

3.0Plant Growth Lighting Suitability
3.1Spectral Properties: For continuity of research conditions between environments, plant growth lighting shall be consistent with existing lighting systems and specifically capable of matching the existing spectral distribution properties indicated below, to within +/- 2%, along the full 360nm to 780nm axis, and be validated by on-site spectroradiometer measurements and analysis.
