About this opportunity
The USDA Forest Service Fire Sciences Laboratory in Missoula, Montana is seeking heat flux transducers to measure heat energy transfer in fire behavior experiments through solicitation number 1240BG25Q0037. The procurement requires two types of specialized transducers: 2 water-cooled units and 2 non-water-cooled units, each capable of measuring both total and radiant heat flux with specific technical requirements including the ability to withstand temperatures up to 400°F, linear output signals with maximum 3% nonlinearity, and sapphire window radiant sensors. The transducers must be smooth-bodied, 1-inch in diameter, and without flanges to fit existing laboratory hardware. The Forest Service will evaluate submissions using the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) method, with all quotes due by July 25, 2025 at noon PST via email to jennifer.olson2@usda.gov. Questions regarding the solicitation must be submitted in writing no later than July 22, 2025 by noon Pacific Time.
This procurement is designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 334519 (Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing) with a small business size standard of 600 employees. No current contractors or incumbents are identified in the solicitation documents. While specific award values or budget ranges are not disclosed, the relatively small quantity of specialized equipment suggests a focused procurement for research purposes. Delivery is required within 30 days of order receipt on an FOB Destination basis to the USDA FS Rocky Mountain Research Station Fire Sciences Laboratory in Missoula, Montana, with deliveries restricted to Monday through Friday during business hours (0800-1600). The performance period is described as "as soon as possible" with the potential to extend up to six months, and offerors must complete representations and certifications through the System for Award Management (SAM).
