Description
The purpose of this modification is to extend the period of performance for the Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer being leased from the University of Idaho. It is now expected to remain in place in Eureka, Canada through February 1, 2008. Any responses are required to be submitted in writing no later than February 23, 2007. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) proposes to negotiate on a sole source basis under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1) with the University of Idaho, Dept. of Geography, 875 Perimeter Dr., Moscow, ID 83844-3021 to lease a Polar-adapted, low maintenance, Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer (P-AERI) to be deployed in Eureka, Canada for the amended period February 1, 2006 through February 1, 2008. Collaborators from the Canadian Network for Detection of Atmospheric Change (CANDAC) Program are planning to commission an AERI-ER system from the University of Wisconsin for long term deployment in Eureka, Canada but the CANDAC system is not expected to be operational until early 2007 at the earliest. An AERI-ER system is needed to monitor crucial atmosphere/climate parameters until the CANDAC system is available and tested in Eureka. The Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer (AERI) is an important instrument for Arctic research and monitoring that measure downwelling spectral infrared radiance from approximately 3 - 20 microns. AERI spectra provide information on key Arctic parameters such as cloudy conditions, fractional cloud cover, and infrared cloud radiative forcing. Furthermore, AERI spectra provide information on total column abundances of some atmospheric trace gases including H2O, CO2, O3, CH4, and HNO3, which play significant roles in climatically important processes such as the carbon and ozone cycles. The extended range AERI (AERI-ER) is particularly well suited for many of these observations because it provides both high accuracy and precision and can operate in the polar darkness when solar transmission instruments are not useful. The system is required to have a 1/cm resolution, a spectral range of at least 3-20 microns, a robust and documented calibration, shall operate autonomously, and be specifically adapted to operate in Polar environments. Prior successful operation in Polar conditions must be demonstrated. In addition, quality controlled data sets, containing calibrated spectral radiance measurements at the specified resolution and spectral range, must be provided to NOAA within three months of observation time. This announcement is being issued under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures, FAR Part 13 (under $100,000). Information submitted in response to this notice will be used solely to determine whether or not use of competitive procedures to fulfill this requirement would be in the Government's best interest and must address qualifications pertinent to this requirement. Any responses shall be received in writing no later than February 23, 2007. Anticipated Award date is February 26, 2007.
