This announcement constitutes the only solicitation. Offers are being requested and a separate written solicitation will not be issued. Solicitation number 145022-26-0013 is issued as a Request for quotation (RFQ) for one (1) Methane and Ethane Gas Analyzer and one (1) Formaldehyde Gas Analyzer. This acquisition is set-aside for small business concerns. This solicitation incorporates provisions and clauses by reference. The full text of provisions and clauses may be accessed electronically at www.acquisition.gov. The objective of this procurement is to acquire two high-performance, research-grade gas analyzers capable of providing continuous, sensitive, and stable measurements under laboratory, mobile, and airborne operating conditions: One (1) Aeris MIRA Strato Plus Methane and Ethane (LDS) Gas Analyzer for high-resolution measurements of atmospheric methane and ethane on a research UAS. One (1) Aeris MIRA Ultra Rackmount Formaldehyde (HCHO) Gas Analyzer for high-resolution measurements of atmospheric formaldehyde.

Salient Characteristics:

Utilizes Mid-infrared Absorption (MIRA) technology for trace gas monitoring. Highly portable, lightweight form factor suitable for benchtop, mobile laboratory, tower, or drone/aircraft deployments. High-precision, parts-per-billion (ppb) measurement capability for Methane (CH4) and Ethane (C2H6) dry mole fractions to distinguish between biogenic and thermogenic sources. Must include or seamlessly integrate with a Nafion dryer (for moisture correction), external pump, and flow control. Near real-time automated data transmission capabilities. Measurement precision of 1 ppb for CH4 in one second at approximately 2000 ppb CH4 Data output should be available via ethernet port or USB connection. The size of the optical component (temperature-controlled cell and detector) must be no larger than 7” x 8” x 5” (not including associated electronics and gas handling components). Power consumption < 25W at steady state Must be compatible in size, power, and electrical and data connections with the Aeris MIRA Ultra portable gas analyzer CLIN 1001 - One (1) Aeris MIRA Strato Plus Methane and Ethane (LDS) Gas Analyzer for high-resolution measurements of atmospheric methane and ethane on a research UAS.
