About this opportunity
The Missouri Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has issued a Single Feasible Source (SFS) solicitation (SFSK25000093) for the procurement and installation of Acclima Soil-Water Content Sensors with Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) Technology. The department seeks to purchase and install volumetric soil-water content sensors at over forty mesonet stations to integrate soil moisture and temperature data into the Missouri Mesonet system, which will continuously transmit monitoring station data to NOAA and make it publicly available. The specific equipment required includes the TDR 315N Soil Water Content Sensor with 15 cm long sensor rods, capable of measuring soil moisture and temperature, and the Acclima True TDR Soil Moisture Sensor Reader Kit (SDI-12) to connect the sensors to weather station data loggers. The Acclima sensors were specifically selected due to their proven performance in Missouri's soils, which have high clay content and smectite clay mineralogy. The solicitation period is from July 15, 2024, at 8:00 AM CDT through July 19, 2024, at 5:00 PM CDT, with all vendors eligible to respond. Delivery terms are specified as Free On Board Destination, and payment terms are to be vendor-specified.
The solicitation does not indicate any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are mentioned in the documentation. The solicitation does not provide an estimated total value for the contract, and there are no defined line items. The contract opportunity spans multiple jurisdictions within Missouri, including Clark County and Jefferson City. The primary contact for this solicitation is Brenda Kaden at the Missouri Department of Natural Resources in Jefferson City. While the solicitation does not specify funding sources or budget ranges, it appears the project will be funded through the DNR's budget and appropriations. The procurement is designated as a Single Feasible Source, indicating that the department has determined the Acclima sensors are the only feasible option for this specific project based on their technical capabilities and performance in Missouri's unique soil conditions.
Opportunity text
The department will be purchasing and installing the volumetric Soil-Water content sensors at over forty mesonet stations to integrate the soil moisture and temperature data into the Missouri Mesonet system, which continuously transmits monitoring station data to NOAA and make the data publicly available. The Acclima time domain reflectometry (TDR) soil-water sensors have been selected for this project because of their proven performance in soils with high clay content and smectite clay minerology, which are both common in Missouri. The TDR 315N Soil Water Content Sensor, which has 15 cm long sensor rods, measures soil moisture and temperature. The Acclima True TDR Soil Moisture Sensor Reader Kit (SDI-12) will allow the department to install soil sensors near Missouri Mesonet stations to connect the sensors to the weather station data loggers.
