Portable Photosynthesis System with Fluorometer

Oregon State University is seeking to purchase a single, integrated portable photosynthesis system with fluorometer capability from LI‑COR, Inc. The equipment must combine CO₂ assimilation, stomatal conductance, transpiration, and chlorophyll fluorescence measurements on a single platform, support both closed and open gas‑exchange configurations, operate reliably in the field on battery power, and be compatible with existing OSU research data and calibration workflows. This is a sole‑source procurement because LI‑COR is the only supplier that meets the specific design and compatibility requirements. The university invites interested parties to submit a bid by the closing deadline, with an appeal process outlined for any procurement determinations. • Integrated measurement of photosynthesis, gas exchange, and chlorophyll fluorescence in one portable instrument. • Precise environmental control (CO₂, humidity, temperature, light intensity, flow rate) for both lab and field use. • Battery‑powered operation suitable for outdoor research across varied environmental conditions. • Must interface seamlessly with OSU’s existing physiological research data and calibration protocols. • Sole‑source justification due to LI‑COR’s unique capability and exclusive supply of the required system.
