The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Western Acquisition Division, on behalf of the Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory, intends to negotiate a sole source purchase order with Auburn University for non-personal photopigment analysis services. This requirement, identified by solicitation number 145025-26-0034JRW, is classified under NAICS 541990 - All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services and PSC B533 - SPECIAL STUDIES/ANALYSIS- WATER QUALITY. No set-aside is to be used for this requirement, as Auburn University is identified as the only laboratory source with the specialized equipment and resources necessary to perform freshwater pigment analysis consistent with previous experimental processes.
The scope of work involves the examination of photopigments in lake systems, specifically focusing on cyanobacteria photopigments to support research in paleolimnology and population dynamics. The period of performance is scheduled to run from September 28, 2026, through September 27, 2027, with services to be performed in Huntsville, Alabama. This specialized analysis is critical for maintaining consistency across ongoing research and experiments conducted by the agency.
