Prototype Dual-Channel CRDS NOy Analyzer Design & Manufacturing

The contract involves the design, engineering, and fabrication of a prototype dual-channel cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS) analyzer specifically developed to measure true nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and total nitrogen oxides (NOy) compounds in ambient air. This sophisticated analyzer will enable precise and accurate detection of these pollutants, facilitating enhanced environmental monitoring and research. The work encompasses developing a custom instrument that incorporates advanced CRDS technology, tailored for environmental applications focused on air quality assessment. Issued by the Environmental Protection Agency, this subcontract falls under the NAICS code 334510, which pertains to instruments manufacturing. The solicitation was posted in mid-June 2026, with responses due by the end of that month. While some details such as location and points of contact are not specified, the contract clearly targets innovative analytical instrumentation aimed at advancing air pollutant measurement capabilities for regulatory or research purposes. The project reflects an effort to improve monitoring precision for nitrogen oxide species in ambient environments through a cutting-edge, dual-channel spectroscopic approach.
