(16) Description:

The requirement is to carry out atmospheric air sampling from a GML tower-based atmospheric air collection system and associated meteorological instruments from the vendor’s tower. Air samples are expected to be collected from the GML Global Greenhouse Gas Reference Network site at the Mt Bachelor tower site (MBO) near Bend, OR. The Government intends to negotiate directly and award one (1) firm-fixed price purchase order with a total value of approximately $28,000.00. The expected period of performance is 1 September 2025 to 31 August 2026.

Compatibility to existing systems or equipment - The required supplies or service must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit, and function) with existing systems or equipment and the source is uniquely qualified to meet the requirement.

University of Washington has the required technical and scientific expertise to carry out these GML research measurements. University of Washington has the proven capability to provide the deliverables as outlined in the accompanying Statement of Work, and to maintain the measurement time series from the tower site. University of Washington has outfitted their tower as necessary to install and operate the GML instrumentation and equipment as required for these research measurements. To meet NOAA’s scientific program requirements, GML must maintain this measurement time series. The continued partnership with University of Washington will ensure this requirement is met.

The proposed contract action is for equipment for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under authority of FAR 13.501. Interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals. However, any firm that believes it can meet this requirement may provide written notification to the Contracting Officer. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.

(17) Place of Contract Performance: Bend, OR

(18) Set-aside Status: This Government intends this procurement to be a sole source award with no small business set-aside.
