COMMERCE BUSINESS DAILY ISSUE OF JUNE 3,1999 PSA#2359DOC; Mountain Administrative Support Center; Acquisition Management

Management, Brenda.S.Summers@noaa.gov. The National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Aeronomy Laboratory (AL), is planning
on the University of Alabama at Huntsville to perform two tasks as
follows: 1) Deploy a 915 MHz radar profiler for the period June 15 to
July 15, 1999 to measure wind and temperature profiles at the Tennessee
Valley Authority's Cumberland Steam Plant in Cumberland City,
Tennessee. Measurements to be conducted in conjunction with NOAA's
Environmental Technology Laboratory as part of the Southern Oxidants
Study's field campaign in the Nashville/Middle Tennessee area. Data are
to be reduced within one hour and made available for flight planning.
Final results to be published, within two years, in the peer-reviewed
literature. 2) Use a chemically-coupled, large eddy simulation model
developed in conjunction with NOAA's Air Resources Laboratory to
investigate the effect of sub-grid scale turbulence structure on the
rate and efficiency of pollutant (ozone and fine particles) formation
and their distribution. The model simulations will be compared against
aircraft data collected during the 1995 SOS Nashville/Middle Tennessee
Ozone Study to evaluate model skill. Results are to be published,
within two years, in the peer-reviewed literature. Dr. Richard McNider
and Dr. Kevin Knupp at the University have unique capabilities that
make them the ideal candidates to perform these tasks. The University
of Alabama has its own radar wind profiler that can be used during this
study, with the University covering part of the cost of the deployment.
In addition, Dr. McNider has been working with staff from NOAA's Air
Resources Laboratory on the development of the chemically-coupled large
eddy simulation model and has support from the Environmental Protection
Agency to cover part of the costs associated with the performance of
this task. No RFQ is available; however interested sources may respond
by submitting documentation that clearly demonstrates the capability
to meet this requirement. Responses must reference Synopsis No.
NRMGB000900192JW. This announcement/solicitation is being issued under
the Simplified Acquisition Procedures, FAR Part 13 (NTE $100,000.00).
In the absence of other qualified sources, it is the intent to award
a sole source procurement to the University of Alabama, Huntsville, AL.
