Notice Type: Sources Sought Synopsis Title: Pyranometers, Pyrgeometers, and Cables Response Date: July 10, 2024 This is a SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS and is not a pre-solicitation announcement. The purpose of this Market Research and Sources Sought Notice is to gain knowledge of potential qualified U.S. Domestic businesses, which could include Small Business, HUBZone, 8(a), Service Disabled Veteran Owned, Women Owned Small Business firms and even Large Businesses. Responses to this Sources Sought Synopsis will be used by the Government in making appropriate acquisition decisions. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR), Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) is in need of sensors to measure solar radiation from its next-gen instrument platforms including TELOS buoy systems and UAVs such as Saildrone and Seatrac drones. The currently used radiation sensors from Eppley are no longer being made and will need to be replaced. The OTT Hydromet's Kipp and Zonen pyranometers, pyrgeometers anc cables are found to meet the requirements. INTENDED USE/PURPOSE: Pyranometers can be used to measure the total solar radiation as well as diffuse solar radiation when shaded, allowing the ability to measure both the total and diffuse components at new observation sites. Pyrgeometers are a device that is used to measure the infrared (IR) components of the solar energy coming into earth as well as the reflected IR emitting by the Earth’s surface, allowing the ability to measure the incoming IR as well as the emitted IR at all of the new measurement sites. SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS/ESSENTIAL SALIENT FEATURES: CMP10 Pyranometer(Short wave atmospheric radiation): Spectral Accuracy 285 to 2800 nm Non-Linearity ? ±0.2 % (100 to 1000 W/m²) Non-stability ? ±0.5 % (change/year) Analog output: - 0 to 21mV Sensitivity 7-14uV/W/M^2 Response Time ? 1.7 s (63 %), ? 5 s (95 %) Temp Correction ? 1 %: +14 - +104 °F (-10 - +40 °C) IP rating IP67 CGR4 Pyrgeometer (Long wave atmospheric radiation): Range 4.4-50uM Non-Linearity <1% Non-stability <1% Analog output: - -5 to 5mV Sensitivity 5-15uV/W/M^2 Response Time <18s Temp Range -40 to 80 degC IP rating IP67 The North American Industry Classification Code (NAICS) is 334516 with a size standard of 1,000 employees. Interested firms shall provide, in writing, a brief narrative (no more than 3 pages in length) and documentation to support your firm’s capability and experience meeting the requirements herein and include your firm’s name, address, point of contact, telephone number, UEID Number, CCR CAGE Number, business type and size (i.e., small, large, non-profit, educational, etc.). Any response that does not include this information will not be considered. The Government will review your response to determine if your firm has the experience, knowledge and capability to provide the items as specified above.
