NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE

This Notice of Intent is not a request for competitive proposals. This is not a solicitation or request for offers. No solicitation package is available and telephone requests will not be honored. Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.



The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) intends to award a sole source purchase order to to furnish:



required source or brand name, and the required delivery date/period of performance.) We require a scintillometer to measure atmospheric turbulence, Cn2, heat flux and crosswind over a range of distances (0.1 to 6km) to support the Moisture and Aerosol Gradients / Physics of Inversion Evolution (MAGPIE) Defense Research Initiative (DRI) from late 2022 through 2023. We specifically request a Scintec BLS900 to ensure complete compatibility with existing Navy Scintec BLS900 datasets from HEL WS test events, and with the Naval PostGraduate School (NPS) Scintec BLS900 which will be co-deployed in Monterey, CA, then in the Caribbean in 2023. The deployment is intended to investigate heterogeneity in the Marine Layer and Marine Boundary Layer for EM/EO research via scintillometer, High Spectral Resolution Lidar, aerosol, radiation, meteorology, and satellite imagery data collection. The scintillometer measurement regimes will involve side-by-side measurements, orthogonal measurements (90 degree offset), opposing measurements (each BLS900 deployed at other BLS900 receiver location), and solo measurements (with hot-swap capability provided by the existence of identical instrumentation, in case of instrument malfunction). Navy High Energy Laser test events (for EM/EO research) utilize Scintec BLS900 instruments, as do our NPS collaborators. The HEL team, and the NPS team highly recommend the Scintec BLS900 for our research, based on their extensive experience with a variety of scintillometer instruments and data, i...
