About this opportunity
The Department of Agriculture Under Secretary for Farm Production and Conservation has published a Special Notice for a single-source procurement of a Scientific Rainfall Simulator-Soil Health Demonstration Trailer and Accessories. This equipment is used by the NRCS to study and demonstrate soil science and health concepts, including runoff, storage, and infiltration of soils under various management and cover types.
The purpose of this Special Notice is to acquire a portable rainfall simulator system that can reliably reproduce rainfall conditions for experimental and demonstration purposes, which is not feasible with natural rainfall due to variable timing and intensity. The deadline for responses is July 15, 2024, and the procurement is set aside for small businesses. The specifications outlined in the notice are necessary for NRCS soil health points of contact to conduct their studies and demonstrations as part of their duties. Eligible contractors must have the capability to manufacture the required equipment according to the detailed technical requirements provided.
Notice text
Scientific Rainfall Simulator-Soil Health Demonstration Trailer and Accessories. The SRS-SHDT and accessories required by NRCS are used in soil science and health to study and convey soil and hydrologic concepts including runoff, storage and infiltration of soils in various managements and cover types. Natural rainfall rates pose challenges to experimentation and demonstration due to variable and unpredictable timing and intensity of rainfall and is impossible to reproduce. Using simulated rainfall significantly improves the study of erosion, surface runoff, and leaching in a portable environment for study and demonstration. The specifications below are necessary to conduct studies by NRCS soil health points of contact in the performance of their duties.
