About this opportunity
The USDA Forest Service's Rocky Mountain Research Station is procuring a CO2/H2O analyzer for laboratory use at their Fort Collins, Colorado facility through solicitation number 1240BG25Q0054. The agency requires a portable infrared gas analyzer (IRGA) that is compatible with their existing MaRTa micrometeorological station and meets specific technical requirements including communication via Campbell Scientific's SDM protocol, 20 Hz measurement frequency, and power consumption under 40W during startup and 24W during steady state. This equipment will support research on timber growth and water usage in forest ecosystems following timber harvest or wildfire events, with planned field deployments in summers of 2026 and 2027 to study limber-pine stand recovery and timber growth in salvage logged forests. The procurement will be evaluated using Lowest Price Technically Acceptable criteria, and offerors must maintain active System for Award Management (SAM) registration and complete required representations and certifications. The solicitation was posted on September 16, 2025, with quotes due by September 24, 2025 at noon PST, and responses must be submitted via email to Jennifer Olson at jennifer.olson2@usda.gov.
This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business Set Aside under NAICS code 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) with a small business size standard of 1,000 employees. The contract period of performance runs from October 1, 2025 to November 30, 2025, with delivery required within 30 days after receipt of order on an FOB Destination basis. Installation of the IRGA must be completed within 2 months of receipt, and the equipment will be delivered to the USDA Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station located at 240 W Prospect Street, Fort Collins, Colorado 80526. The solicitation follows simplified acquisition procedures under FAR Parts 12.6 and 13, and incorporates standard commercial item terms and conditions. No incumbent contractor or specific award values are mentioned in the available documentation, and the procurement appears to be for a single analyzer unit to support the Water and Watersheds Program's ongoing research activities.
