About this file
This is a Single Source Determination document for a simplified acquisition procedure (SAP) action by the Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Western Acquisition Division, in coordination with the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and Northeast Fisheries Science Center (NEFSC).
NOAA intends to award a firm-fixed-price purchase order to Loligo Systems ApS for an automated, multi-channel aquatic respirometry system and compatible experimental chambers. The procurement consists of two add-on resting respirometry systems (4-channel, 110V/60Hz configuration) with specified components including PowerX4 power strips, Witrox oxygen meters, flow-through oxygen cells, fiber optic cables, Eheim pumps, horizontal acrylic respirometers, PVC tubing, and hose fittings; four vertical acrylic respirometer chambers (240 mm ID, 250 mm depth); and four custom-molded O-rings engineered for 190 mm ID respirometer chambers. The estimated period of performance is 90 days from award, with an expected delivery period of 6–8 weeks. The vendor is located at Toldboden 3, 2nd floor, DK-8800 Viborg, Denmark, with UEI C2HLG2MK2NF5.
The determination justifies single-source procurement based on compatibility with existing Loligo Systems equipment and proprietary AutoResp™ software infrastructure at the Howard Marine Sciences Laboratory. The specialized acrylic chambers with precise 190 mm dimensions and custom O-rings are engineered to maintain parity with existing systems, and alternative manufacturers lack compatible software integration and exact technical specifications. Market research confirmed Loligo Systems' prior successful fulfillment of specialized research instrumentation awards for NOAA, and evaluation of alternate domestic manufacturers (Sable Systems International and Qubit Systems) revealed incompatibility with the laboratory's existing setup. No GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract exists for this vendor.

Department of Commerce (DOC), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Acquisition and Grants Office (AGO), Western Acquisition Division (WAD) National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and the Northeast Fisheries Science Center (NEFSC), Fisheries ecology Branch
(FEB).
2. Description of supplies or services required to meet agency needs (including the estimated value).
NOAA WAD intends to award a firm-fixed-price purchase order to Loligo Systems ApS for the procurement of an automated, multi-channel aquatic respirometry system and compatible high-precision experimental chambers.
This equipment will expand existing laboratory capabilities to measure metabolic rates, oxygen consumption, and physiological responses of aquatic organisms under tightly controlled laboratory conditions. The procurement consists of:
● Two (2) Add-on resting respirometry systems (4-channel, 110V/60Hz configuration customized for United States electrical infrastructure).
○ Each system must contain:
■ 2 PowerX4 Lan/bluetooth power strips,
■ 1 Witrox oxygen meter for mini sensors,
■ 4 flow through oxygen cells with sensor spots,
■ 4 fiber optic bare-tip cables (2.5 m length, 2 mm OD) with Witrox-compatible fittings,
■ 8 Eheim Universal 1048 pumps (10L/min, 110V/60Hz),
■ 4 horizontal acrylic respirometers (each ID 190mm, L 800 mm),
■ 4 meters of toxic-free PVC tube (ID 13 mm), and
■ 16 hose barbed elbows (13 mm tube).
● Four (4) Vertical acrylic respirometer chambers with an internal diameter (ID) of 240 mm and depth (D) of 250 mm.
● Four (4) Custom-molded O-rings engineered explicitly for 190 mm ID respirometer chambers to ensure a gas-tight, hermetic seal.
Period of Performance: Estimated 90 days from award date, expected delivery period is 6-8 weeks from award date.
Contract Type: Firm-Fixed-Price
