The Environmental Laboratory has a need for a portable photosynthesis system with fluorometer.The ERDC intends to issue an award to Li–Cor, Inc, 4647 Superior ST Lincoln, Nebraska 68504–1357, on a sole source basis in accordance with FAR Part 13. This equipment will support ongoing research that requires an instrument that will produce the same quality of data as the current data being produced. The Environmental Laboratory is currently utilizing a Li–Cor portable photosynthesis system with fluorometer. This instrument simultaneously measures photosynthetic gas exchange and Chlorophyll A fluorescence over the same area in plants and aquatic samples. This is required to cut down on man hours in the field by combining two field collection data points into one collection. This is also required to reduce any source of error by ensuring the samples are collected at the same point in time. If another unit were to be purchased
