About this opportunity
The Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service seeks two portable, solar-powered plant evapotranspiration remote sensor towers with mounting structures, data logging capability, and all-inclusive service agreements, with quotations due September 4, 2026 and questions due August 26, 2026. This is an unrestricted, firm fixed price procurement under FAR Part 12 for commercial items, evaluated on a lowest price, technically acceptable basis.
Place of performance and delivery is the USDA-ARS Clemson Pee Dee Research and Education Center in Florence, South Carolina. The NAICS code is 334516, Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing, with a small business size standard of $19 million.
Each sensor system must directly output evapotranspiration measurements without requiring additional calculations or supplementary sensor data, cover at least 1–2 acres of field area, support remote deployment with solar panel hardware (battery, charge controller, and solar panel), enable local data logging and backup functionality without third-party cloud-based software subscriptions, include appropriate mounting structures for accurate sensor deployment, and provide accompanying software for data access and download. Systems must be fully portable and independently operational at remote field sites. No government-furnished equipment is provided. The procurement specifies the LI-710-WN equipment manufactured by LI-COR Inc. as the benchmark; offerors proposing "or equal" products must submit detailed descriptive literature demonstrating compliance with all salient characteristics. Delivery is required within 30 days after receipt of order, with F.O.B. destination as the shipping term. The performance period runs from September 30, 2026 to September 29, 2027. Past performance will be evaluated as acceptable, neutral, or unacceptable. Line item 0002 requires a 5-year all-inclusive service agreement including two calibrations. All offers must include pricing for both line items to be considered responsive.
