The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), via the Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory (GLERL), intends to award a sole source purchase order to Auburn University for specialized photopigment analysis services. This requirement involves the examination of cyanobacteria photopigments in lake systems, focusing on paleolimnology and population dynamics. The work is classified under NAICS 541990, All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services, and PSC B533, Special Studies/Analysis- Water Quality. No set-aside is used for this requirement.
The sole source determination is based on the specialized nature of freshwater pigment analysis and the university’s unique equipment, resources, and established research processes. Utilizing the same laboratory ensures consistency for ongoing experiments and analyses. Performance is scheduled to take place in Huntsville, Alabama, covering a period from September 28, 2026, through September 27, 2027.
