Purchase flow meter for permitted outfall

This solicitation is a sole-source, brand-name requirement for the Teledyne Isco Signature LaserFlow System, issued by the NASA Shared Services Center under solicitation number 80NSSC26932036Q, and is restricted to authorized resellers only. The procurement is designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under FAR 19.5, with the NAICS code 334516, limiting eligibility to small businesses meeting the 1,500-employee size standard. The system is required for accurate measurement of low-flow wastewater at an outfall in Cleveland, Ohio, with the primary justification centered on its unique USB-based data transfer capability, which avoids the need for a NASA IT Security Plan and eliminates wireless transmission risks. The system’s ability to operate reliably at flows beneath one inch depth, its annual calibration requirement, and its reduction of personnel exposure to confined spaces are critical operational advantages that preclude open competition. Vendors must submit quotes via email with the solicitation number in the subject line and include their CAGE or UEI code, FOB destination terms, lead time for delivery (estimated at four to six weeks), and a point of contact name and email. Payment will not be made via credit card, and the delivery location is specified as Cleveland, Ohio, with inspection and acceptance to occur there under FOB destination terms. No formal contract clauses, packaging specifications, barcoding standards, or detailed invoicing procedures are provided, and while attachments are referenced, their content is unavailable. Compliance is based solely on meeting the brand-specific technical requirements and submitting all required information in the prescribed format.
