AI Contract Overview

The National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) intends to enter into a sole source contract with Western Michigan State University to conduct atmospheric measurements of organic nitrates aboard the NOAA research vessel Ronald H. Brown during the New England Air Quality Study in summer 2002. This four-week mission, beginning July 12, 2002, will focus on quantifying ambient levels of peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN), peroxypropionyl nitrate (PPN), and peroxymethacroyl nitrate (MPAN). The resulting data will help NOAA assess the contribution of these organic nitrates to total reactive oxides of nitrogen, understand the effect of NOy concentration on their formation rate, and evaluate the influence of biogenic versus anthropogenic organic emissions on regional ozone formation. This procurement is being carried out under simplified acquisition procedures in accordance with FAR Part 13 for contracts under $100,000, with no competitive solicitation planned. Information submitted in response to this notice will be used solely to determine whether competitive procedures would be appropriate in the Government's interest, based on qualifications relevant to the requirement. The results of the measurements will be published in peer-reviewed literature within two years, supporting NOAA’s ongoing atmospheric research efforts. The contract is managed by the Department of Commerce's NOAA office based in Seattle, Washington.

Full Description

The National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) proposes to negotiate on a sole source basis a contract under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1) with Western Michigan State University to perform atmospheric measurements of organic nitrates on board the NOAA RV Ronald H. Brown, during New England Air Quality Study in the summer of 2002. The ambient concentrations of peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN), peroxypropionyl nitrate (PPN), and peroxymethacroyl nitrate (MPAN) will be quantified during a four-week cruise beginning on July 12, 2002. The data collected will be used to determine, 1) the contribution of these organic nitrates to total reactive oxides of nitrogen; 2) the effect of NOy concentration on the rate of formation of organic nitrates; and 3) the relative contribution of biogenic and anthropogenic emissions of organics to formation of ozone in the region. The measurement results and their interpretation will be published in the peer-reviewed literature within two years. This procurement is being conducted per FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures (Under 100K). This synopsis is issued for information purposes only. No competitive solicitation is planned. Information submitted in response to this notice will be used solely to determine whether or not use of competitive procedures to fulfill this requirement would be in the Government's best interest and must address qualifications pertinent to this requirement.
