About this file
This document outlines specifications for the procurement of eddy covariance nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide analyzers by the US Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service. The agency seeks to purchase two new eddy covariance systems capable of simultaneously monitoring nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide fluxes at 10 Hz for use in expanding research on greenhouse gas emissions and carbon sequestration from cropping systems and field management practices. Key requirements for the analyzers include the ability to measure nitrous oxide at 200 ppt/s and carbon dioxide at 200 ppb/s using mid-infrared laser absorption spectroscopy, suitable enclosure and carrying case for field deployment, and delivery within 120-135 days to the US Dairy Forage Research Center in Madison, WI. Vendors must demonstrate expertise in eddy covariance instrumentation development and training. The procurement number for this opportunity is 12805B23Q0872.

Specifications
Project: Procurement of eddy covariance nitrous oxide (N2O)/carbon dioxide (CO2) analyzer, including external pump and anemometer.
GENERAL INFORMATION
1.0 Scope of Work: The US Dairy Forage Research Center is requesting bids for purchase of two new eddy covariance N2O/CO2 systems, each capable of high-accuracy monitoring of nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide fluxes at 10 Hz.
Specifications for the purchase are itemized below.
2.0 Background: Research programs at the US Dairy Forage Research Center are interdisciplinary and include assessment of the economic and environmental performance of crop-dairy livestock systems. Research priorities include evaluation of farm greenhouse gas emissions and opportunities for climate mitigation through land cover change and improved management practices. Nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide flux monitoring equipment is needed to expand existing research on the impacts of cropping systems and field management practices on field carbon balance and soil organic carbon. The new instruments will allow for two new fields to be instrumented for a complete greenhouse gas (GHG) carbon budget assessment and will expand the range of crop management practices that can be evaluated.
