The U.S. Geological Survey Woods Hole Coastal & Marine has a requirement for a High-Precision Isotopic Carbon Analyzer. Which requires of methane and CO2 concentrations and stable carbon isotope ratios (¿13C) to support projects that characterize natural gas from petroleum systems and living ecosystems. The ¿Gas Analyzer¿ will be incorporated into a line of peripheral devices conceived, constructed, and validated at the USGS.
The analyzer meeting the required performance characteristics is a model G2201-i High-Precision Isotopic Carbon Analyzer manufactured by Picarro, Inc. in Santa Clara CA. The G2201-I High Precision Isotopic Carbon Analyzer and accessories needs to interface with existing equipment built, owned by scientists at the USGS Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center.
The required G2201-i High Precision Isotopic Carbon Analyzer and accessories must exhibit the salient characteristics on the attached document.
All interested firms shall submit a response demonstrating their capabilities to provide the requested equipment to the primary contact below. Firms responding should indicate whether their socioeconomic status (e.g. small business, service-disabled veteran, woman/women owned, HUBZone, etc.).
