This procurement is being conducted under the authority of FAR 13.106-l(b)(i). For purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, Contracting Officers may solicit from one source if the Contracting Officer determines that thecircumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available.
The Campbell Scientific IRGASON is the only fully integrated open-path gas analyzer and 3D sonic system that collects synchronous measurements of absolute carbon dioxide and water vapor concentration, air temperature, barometric pressure, andthree-dimensional wind velocity with a user programmable output of 5, 10, 12.5 and 20 Hz. By reducing flow distortion and sampling error, the support structure of the combined gas analyzer and 3D sonic anemometer improves the accuracy of the measurements while eliminating the need for post-processing corrections to measurement asynchrony and senor separation. This combined gas analyzer and 3D sonic anemometer also has significantly lower power requirements compared to individual sensors, a requirement for deployment at remote sites where power is provided via batteries and solar panels.
