The requirement is to carry out atmospheric air sampling using a GML small aircraft based atmospheric air collection system and associated meteorological instruments from the vendor’s aircraft.

Flights are expected at the GML Global Greenhouse Gas Reference Network sites in Iowa and Illinois.

The Government intends to negotiate directly and award one (1) firm-fixed price purchase order with a total value of $93,240.00. The expected period of performance is 1 August 2025 to 31 July 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.

M & M Aviation Services Ltd. has been successfully carrying out these research flights since 2010. M & M has the aircraft, pilot qualifications, certifications, and required technical and flight expertise to carry out these research flights. M & M has the proven capability to provide the deliverables as outlined in the accompanying Statement of Work, and to maintain the measurement time series from these small aircraft sites. M & M has modified aircraft as necessary (and obtained any required Federal Aviation Administration approvals) to install and operate Government instrumentation and equipment as required for these research flights. To meet NOAA’s scientific program requirements, the Government must maintain this measurement time series. The continued partnership with M & M 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.
