    The government document outlines a single source determination for acquiring an ozone ultraviolet photometric analyzer, specifically the Thermo Fisher Scientific model TEI 49IQ, for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). This analyzer, needed for measuring ozone levels at the South Pole’s Global Monitoring Laboratory, must comply with specific standards established by the World Meteorological Organization. The requirement includes the instrument's estimated value at $17,000 and a delivery timeframe of twelve weeks post-award. The rationale for selecting Thermo Fisher as the sole source is based on market research, which revealed no alternatives capable of meeting the stringent technical specifications necessary for integration with existing equipment and software at NOAA GML. Further investigation confirmed that other vendors lacked the appropriate offerings to satisfy safety, functionality, and compatibility needs. The document is certified by agency representatives affirming the necessity of the analyzer and the accuracy of the presented data, leading to the conclusion that Thermo Fisher is the only viable supplier for this requirement. This determination aligns with federal procurement procedures, maintaining compliance with the simplified acquisition threshold.
