AI Contract Overview
The U.S. Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, intends to award a sole source contract to Handix Scientific, Inc. for the procurement of ten portable optical particle spectrometers (POPS) for the Office of Atmospheric Research, Chemical Sciences Laboratory. With an estimated value of 99,500.00 dollars, these instruments are essential for a field research project conducting globally distributed balloon sonde measurements to study stratospheric aerosol loading and properties. The contract, identified by solicitation number 1305M325P0024, requires the units to be delivered by September 26, 2025. Handix Scientific was selected as the sole source because the POPS instruments are the only commercially available options that meet stringent technical requirements, including a weight of less than 1 kg, power consumption under 6 W, and a minimum detectable particle size of 140 nm. These specifications are critical for operation in high-altitude, low-pressure, and cold-temperature environments. Market research and a Source Sought notice confirmed that no other providers could meet these needs, and the POPS design is specifically compatible with existing systems used by the Chemical Sciences Laboratory.
