A -- METEROLOGICAL AND ANALYSIS SUPPORT FOR THE NASHVILLE 1999 FIELD INTENSIVE SOL NRMGB000900192JW DUE 061499 POC Jacqueline Wright (303) 497-5282, FAX (303) 497-3163 E-MAIL: NOAA; MASC Acquisitions 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. JACQUELINE WRIGHT, Purchasing Agent.
