A--Advanced Monitoring System Initiative

The government intends to enter into negotiations with Northern Arizona University as the sole source under the authority of 10 USC 2304(c)(1) for the continued development and demonstration of an embedded Piezoresistive Microcantilever Array. This technology is aimed at detecting volatile organic compounds in biological molecules specifically at the Nevada Test Site. The project involves modifying an existing sensor to enhance its capabilities for this application. This notice serves to inform of the government's intent and is not a solicitation for proposals. The contract falls under the Advanced Monitoring System Initiative and is identified by solicitation number DE-AC52-03NA99201, with a presolicitation notice posted on August 15, 2003. No set-aside details, agency information, or specific place of performance data are provided. The primary objective is to leverage existing sensor technology in collaboration with Northern Arizona University to advance monitoring capabilities relevant to the detection of volatile organic compounds for biological and possibly environmental applications.
