(V) This combined solicitation/synopsis is for purchase of the following commercial item: CLIN 0001 - Portable, battery powered, automated atmospheric air samplers - Quantity 4 each (VI) Description of requirements is as follows: CLIN 0001 - The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Global Monitoring Division (GMD) requires 4 portable, battery powered automated atmospheric air samplers. The air sampler must be lightweight (less than 12 kg) so it is portable for a person of average strength. It must accommodate two 2.5 L glass NOAA-designed sample containers (40 cm length by 11 cm diameter) and be able to flush them in series at 5 L/min (STP), then pressurize them to 2-10 psig(user-adjustable) at elevations up to 12,000 feet. The air stream must be filtered to remove particles greater than 7 microns. The sampler includes a condenser cooled to 5° C to remove water vapor. The sampler must have 3 operating modes: sampling, drying the condenser, and battery charge. The automated sampling mode must include flushing the condenser, flushing the flasks, and pressurizing the flasks. The automated sampler includes LEDs to indicate the status of the sampler (sampling mode, drying mode, charging mode, good sample, leak, low battery). Once fully charged, the sampler's battery must provide sufficient power for 3 sampling cycles. The samplers must have pressure, flow, and voltage meters. Finally, the samplers cannot affect the composition of the air stream to a measurable degree (determined by the measurement precision of the GMD Carbon Cycle Greenhouse Gases Group analytical systems for carbon dioxide, methane, carbon monoxide, molecular hydrogen, nitrous oxide, sulfur hexafluoride, and carbon and oxygen isotopes of carbon dioxide). (VII) Place of delivery is: Delivery shall be FOB Destination to NOAA/GMD, 325 Broadway, Boulder, CO 80305 (VIII) Required delivery is 30 days ARO.
