Support of Center for Multiscale Applied Sensing (CMAS) Urban Weather Research

Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC, operating Brookhaven National Laboratory under a prime contract with the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science, is soliciting quotes for research and development support of the Center for Multiscale Applied Sensing (CMAS) Urban Weather Research. The procurement seeks a qualified contractor to provide labor, services, materials, and equipment for atmospheric field research, including multi-day atmospheric field campaigns, logistical coordination, environmental sensing instrument operations, and data processing. Technical qualifiers require offerors to demonstrate experience with environmental sensing instruments like Doppler lidars and cloud radars, maintain a team of at least three personnel including one senior research member and two graduate students, and possess capabilities in processing and evaluating environmental datasets. The contract will be evaluated based on technical qualifications and pricing, with quotes required to remain firm for 60 days. Critical dates include questions due by July 16, 2025, at 4:00 PM EST and quote submissions due by August 1, 2025, at 4:00 PM EST.

No specific award values or budget ranges are disclosed in the available documentation, though the contract is classified under NAICS code 541715 for research and development services. The base performance period is two months, with Brookhaven Science Associates maintaining sole discretion to extend the contract in two-month increments up to 12 months, plus potential extensions for up to two additional one-year option periods, creating a maximum possible contract term of three years. Performance will occur within the United States, with the contractor expected to collaborate with BNL scientists to develop and evaluate experimental research methodologies incorporating artificial intelligence techniques for experimental design. The work involves field campaign planning, logistics, deployment support, and environmental data curation for atmospheric research activities.
