About this opportunity
The USDA Forest Service Southern Research Station at Chipola Experimental Forest has published a Special Notice regarding the procurement of flow monitoring equipment. This notice, posted on November 7, 2025, indicates the agency's intention to award a sole source purchase order to Accutech Instrumentation for Teledyne ISCO Model 6712 Stormwater samplers equipped with Area Velocity Modules and sensors. The procurement is being conducted under FAR 13.106 and 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1), which authorize non-competitive sole source acquisitions. This is designated as a Total Small Business set aside opportunity. The notice serves as market research to assess the availability and adequacy of potential sources before contract award, and the government retains sole discretion regarding whether to compete the action.
The primary objective of this procurement is to acquire specialized flow monitoring and sampling equipment for collecting flow characteristics data in a headwater stream at the experimental forest. The equipment will operate in remote and harsh environmental conditions common to the deployment of field instrumentation, and the ISCO 6712 system is noted for proven performance in such applications. Interested organizations must submit inquiries in writing via email to yolanda.padilla@usda.gov no later than November 14, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. EST, with the deadline appearing to be critical for participation in this market research phase. While this notice is not a formal request for proposals, organizations may identify their capability and interest in responding to the requirement. The anticipated period of performance extends from December 1, 2025, through December 31, 2026. Small business contractors are eligible to respond, as this opportunity is set aside exclusively for small business concerns.
