- Description
- ***NOAA's Acquisition & Grants Office, Western Acquisition Division-Boulder, intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), with Agilent Technologies for an Agilent 5975C Series Gas Chromatograph MSD Performance Turbo El mainframe for use with the Agilent 7890A and includes the following: •262L/sec turbo pump, •ion gauge controller for use with the 5975 MSD, •7890A MSD interface accessory, •7890A FID accessory optimized for capillary columns; and •7890 three channels of Auxiliary 0-100psi EPC. ***The Sole Source determination is based upon a specific need of NOAA's Global Monitoring Division (GMD). The Carbon Cycle Greenhouse Gases group (CCGG) of the Global Monitoring Division conducts measurements on carbon dioxide and methane to better understand and monitor the global carbon cycle. This is completed through a global network of air sampling sites which is ever expanding. The increased work means there is a need for an additional gas chromatograph mass spectrometer which will be completely compatible with GMD's Agilent 7890A gas chromatograph and the custom proprietary software used to analyze the data produced by this equipment. ***This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation package is available. However, firms that believe they can fully meet the Government's requirements may submit substantiating documentation in writing to the identified point of contact within 15 days after publication of this synopsis. Such documentation will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to conduct a competitive procurement, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the government. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice.
