The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is seeking a qualified vendor to perform isotope analysis of atmospheric trace gases and measure volatile organic compounds from air samples. The work involves analyzing isotopic ratios, radiocarbon, and volatile organic compounds from samples collected via the Global Greenhouse Gas Reference Network to better understand greenhouse gas sources, sinks, and atmospheric variations. The selected contractor must be able to process a high volume of samples, including stable isotopes of carbon dioxide, methane, carbon monoxide, and nitrous oxide, while adhering to a strict two-week turnaround time. This contract is open for full and open competition under NAICS code 541380. The period of performance consists of a one-year base period with four subsequent one-year option periods. Eligible contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management and possess a DUNS number. Work will be conducted at the vendor's facility, with samples delivered to the David Skaggs Research Center in Boulder, Colorado.

PROJECT TITLE: Isotope analysis of atmospheric trace gases and measurement of Volatile Organic Compounds in atmospheric air samples LOCATION OF WORK: Vendor's Facility; Samples to be delivered to: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, (NOAA) David Skaggs Research Center in Boulder, CO. NAICS CODE: 541380 - Testing Laboratories and the small business size standard is $15.0 M. SET-ASIDE STATUS: Full and Open Competition DESCRIPTION: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Earth System Research Laboratory (ESRL) Global Monitoring Division (GMD) Global Greenhouse Gas Reference Network (GGGRN) is seeking sources that can provide an analysis of isotopic ratios, radio carbon, and volatile organic compounds from atmospheric air samples from the network. NOAA is seeking a vendor capable of providing all of the requirements described below. The analysis of atmospheric trace gases from NOAA GGGRN atmospheric air samples (http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/gmd/ccgg/) is a critically important component of NOAA's research. In addition to the mole fraction measurements of these air samples made at NOAA, there is significant added value from analysis of isotopic ratios, radio carbon, and volatile organic compounds (VOC) from these same air samples. Isotopic ratios add information on atmospheric greenhouse gas sources and sinks that is not available from measurements of greenhouse gas concentrations alone. For example, measurements of the 13CO2:12CO2 ratio in CO2 can provide information on ecosystem level drought stress and ecosystem photosynthetic pathways, in addition to the fractions of atmospheric CO2 absorbed by the land and the oceans. Measurements of the carbon and hydrogen isotopic ratios in atmospheric methane similarly provide information on the sources and sinks responsible for observed atmospheric variations of the compound. While CO2 concentration measurements constrain the total amount of carbon sources and sinks, the addition of 14CO2:12CO2 ratio measurements allow for the direct atmospheric determination of fossil fuel-derived CO2 sources (and by difference, the sources and/or sinks from the terrestrial biosphere). VOC, in particular non-methane hydrocarbon (NMHC) and NMHC/methane correlations, provide insight into biogenic versus human methane sources, photochemical formation of pollutants, and regional tropospheric ozone production with implications for human health and ecosystem services. Isotope analysis of multiple atmospheric trace gases and measurement of VOC in atmospheric air samples from the GGGRN and related programs are required. Aliquots are to be taken from a) pairs of 2.2 liter sample flasks in the global network and b) samples within Programmable Flask Packages (PFPs). Precision requirements are those deemed necessary for scientifically meaningful detection of expected gradients within the atmosphere. The contractor shall be capable of providing all of the analyses as stated in the work statement. In addition, the vendor shall meet a required two week turn-around time. Base Period Processing requirements: Estimated Number of Samples Stable isotopes of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) 10,000 Radiocarbon (14C) of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) 1,850 Stable isotopes of Methane (CH4): 1,500 Volatile Organic Compounds and Non-methane 350 Hydrocarbons Stable Isotopes of Carbon Monoxide (CO): 500 Stable isotopes of Nitrous Oxide (N2O): 200 All dates listed below are tentative; official dates will be provided when the solicitation is released. TENTATIVE SOLICITATION ISSUE DATE: May 15, 2015 TENTATIVE PROPOSAL DUE DATE: June 5, 2015 ANTICIPATED AWARD DATE: June 30, 2015 PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE: Base Period is for a period of one year with four one-year option periods. CONTRACTOR REGISTRATION: To be eligible for award, a contractor must (1) be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) at www.sam.gov. All offerors must have a Dun & Bradstreet Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) identifier. A DUNS number may be acquired free of charge by contacting Dun & Bradstreet at +1 (555) 000-0000 or online at http://fedgov.dnb.com/webform. All responses to this notice may be submitted via e-mail to Sue Bratton, Contract Specialist - Affiliate, at sue.bratton @noaa.gov. The phone number for the Contract Specialist is +1 (555) 000-0000.

Hawaii National Marine Sanctuary Vessel Charter Services
Solicitation # 26-3064
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is conducting market research via a Sources Sought Notice to identify small business sources for vessel charter services supporting the Office of National Marine Sanctuaries. The requirement focuses on resource protection and monitoring missions within the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, specifically supporting the Papahānaumokuākea National Marine Sanctuary. The anticipated contract will be an Indefinite Delivery-Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) vehicle with an ordering period from July 1, 2027, to June 30, 2032. Primary operations typically occur between May 1 and September 30, with August being the optimal window, though emergency response may occur outside these dates. The contractor will be responsible for transit to study locations, providing meals and berthing accommodations, and supporting research operations, including the launch and recovery of small boats. Key technical requirements include maintaining a valid Certificate of Inspection or USCG Letter of Designation, adhering to NOAA Small Boat Standards and Procedures, and ensuring the vessel is equipped with an OLE type-approved Vessel Monitoring System. Environmental compliance is critical, requiring external hull inspections for invasive species within 14 days of departure and rat-free certification within 48 hours. The effort falls under NAICS code 483114, with a small business size standard of 550 employees. Interested sources must submit a capability statement and rough order of magnitude estimate to the contracting specialist by November 17, 2026.
