HCRL ongoing research involves the Eddy Covariance method that is used to understand air turbulence fluxes (similar to river currents and eddies). Understanding these fluxes is important to understanding how particles are transported in the landscape. The particles can be water vapor, dust or pathogen spores. HCRL is using the data to understand pathogen spread in complex plant canopies and to estimate water vapor flux (data from the Irgason). They are also building a vineyard simulation model that can be used as a decision aid to predict water use (e.g. irrigation demand) and pathogen and pest spread. Therefore, using the same types of sensors, equipment & associated components, not only insures data compatibility, but also maintain continuity in their research results. Pursuant to the authority of 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. The award date will be on or about September 28, 2016 ; and this Notice of Intent is not considered as a Request for Quotation (RFQ) nor is it a Request for Proposals (RFP). No solicitation document is available and telephone requests will not be honored. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to this requirement. A determination, by the Government, to compete this proposed PO based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. The Government will consider all responses received by 10:30AM PST, September 28, 2016. Information received will be considered solely for determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Inquiries will only be accepted via email to the Primary Point of Contact: Washingtoni.NLN@ars.usda.gov.
