## Description

THE NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION’S (NOAA) ACQUISITION & GRANTS OFFICE, WESTERN ACQUISITION DIVISION-BOULDER, OFFICE OF OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC RESEARCH (OAR) GREAT LAKES ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH LABORATORY (GLERL), INTENDS TO NEGOTIATE, ON A SOLE SOURCE BASIS, UNDER AUTHORITY OF FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), WITH PRECISION MEASUREMENT ENGINEERING, INC. LOCATED IN VISTA, CA. THE PROCUREMENT IS FOR PROPRIETARY DISSOLVED OXYGEN/TEMPERATURE SENSORS (MINIDOT) WITH A WIPING UNIT WITH BRACKETS AND CABLES.

THE SOLE SOURCE DETERMINATION IS BASED ON NOAA’S REQUIREMENT THAT PRECISION MEASUREMENT ENGINEERING, INC IS THE ONLY SOURCE FOR THEIR PROPRIETARY PRODUCTS. THIS PARTICULAR PRODUCT IS ESSENTIAL TO THE REQUIREMENT AND MARKET RESEARCH INDICATES SIMILAR PRODUCTS DO NOT MEET OR CANNOT BE MODIFIED TO MEET AGENCY NEEDS. GLERL CURRENTLY UTILIZES THESE INSTRUMENTS FOR GREAT LAKES MONITORING. IT IS IMPERATIVE TO KEEP THEIR MONITORING INSTRUMENTS UNIFORMED AND CONSISTENT.

FAILURE TO KEEP THIS BRAND OF MINI DOT SENSORS WOULD REQUIRE SOFTWARE UPGRADES TO DATA COLLECTION COMPUTERS AND TRANSMITTERS THAT TAKE THE INFORMATION FROM THE SENSORS, AND GIVE OUR MODELERS THE REQUIRED INFORMATION FOR PREDICTION AND FORECASTING. THIS IS A KNOWN AND PROVEN COMMODITY, THAT HAS SUCCESSFULLY BEEN USED OVER THE YEARS, PROVIDING COLLABORATORS AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC REQUIRED DATA NECESSARY TO GAGE AND JUDGE MONITORING THROUGHOUT THE GREAT LAKES.

**DELIVER BY:** 11/01/2024

THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS AND NO SOLICITATION PACKAGE IS AVAILABLE. HOWEVER, FIRMS THAT BELIEVE THEY CAN FULLY MEET THE GOVERNMENT'S REQUIREMENTS MAY SUBMIT SUBSTANTIATING DOCUMENTATION IN WRITING TO THE IDENTIFIED POINT OF CONTACT WITHIN 15 DAYS AFTER PUBLICATION OF THIS SYNOPSIS. SUCH DOCUMENTATION WILL BE EVALUATED SOLELY FOR THE PURPOSE OF DETERMINING WHETHER OR NOT TO CONDUCT THIS PROCUREMENT ON A COMPETITIVE BASIS. A DETERMINATION BY THE GOVERNMENT NOT TO CONDUCT A COMPETITIVE PROCUREMENT, BASED UPON RESPONSES TO THIS NOTICE, IS SOLELY WITHIN THE DISCRETION OF THE GOVERNMENT. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE IN RESPONSE TO THIS NOTICE.
