About this file
This document is a Statement of Work for the purchase of Micro Pulse Lidar (MPL) environmental enclosures and related equipment for the NASA MPLNET project. NASA seeks to procure 2 engineering duplicates of the MPL24K enclosure, 2 sun baffles, 8 wide field receivers (WFRs), and associated mounting equipment. The total cost estimate for this procurement is $244,400.00. The enclosures and WFRs are commercially available items manufactured by Aether Embedded, the sole source provider of this specialized equipment used by the NASA MPLNET project. NASA plans to award a sole source contract to Aether Embedded under FAR Part 12 and FAR Part 13 procedures. The period of performance is for delivery by July 1, 2025. Interested organizations may submit capability statements by September 12, 2024 to be considered for competitive award.

STATEMENT OF WORK FORMAT
Purchase of MPL Environmental Enclosures
PR: 4200880498
Background
The NASA MPLNET project has been in operation since 2000 and collects information on the vertical distribution of atmospheric aerosols and clouds to support the NASA Earth Science research program. The project utilizes specific, commercially available atmospheric lidar instruments manufactured by Droplet Measurement Technologies (formerly Leica Geosystems, and Sigma Space Corporation before that). The lidar instruments are Micro Pulse Lidar (MPL) and mini Micro Pulse Lidar (a smaller, cheaper form factor).
MPLNET deploys these lidar instruments worldwide, and they must be installed inside an environmental enclosure with an observation window for network operations. MPLNET uses all-weather enclosures from Aether Embedded that are designed specifically for the MPL and miniMPL. These meet all our requirements. Aether Embedded enclosure models and associated equipment approved for use in MPLNET include:
MPL24K (enclosure) MINI17K (enclosure) BAFFLE (sun baffle)
Here we seek to procure 2 engineering duplicates of the MPL24K enclosure with 2 BAFFLE accessories.
The MPL and miniMPL instruments require several calibrations to transform the raw data to usable signals by the MPLNET project. The overlap calibration requires use of a secondary receiver called the wide field receiver (WFR) that is mounted to the MPL or miniMPL. The WFR calibration approach has been used in MPLNET since 2003.
MPLNET uses the WFR from Aether Embedded that are designed specifically for the MPL and miniMPL. Here we seek to procure 8 engineering duplicates of the WFR and associated mounting equipment for both the MPL and miniMPL.
Scope Purchase of 2 MPL24K enclosures Purchase of 2 BAFFLE sun baffles Purchase of 8 Wide Field Receivers (WFR) Purchase of 6 MPLWFR_MOUNT WFR mounts for MPL Purchase of 2 MiniWFR_MOUNT WFR mounts for miniMPL Shipping fees Total cost estimate for this procurement is: $244,400.00
Requirements
Engineering duplicates of MPL24K enclosures and BAFFLE sun baffles currently used by the NASA MPLNET project and sold by Aether Emedded.
Engineering duplicates of the WFR wide field receivers and associated mounts currently used by the NASA MPLNET Project and sold by Aether Embedded.
