This is a combined Synopsis/Solicitation. 

The Environmental Laboratory (EL) is recognized worldwide as the problem solver in environmental science and engineering research for US Army, the Department of Defense, and the Nation.  R&D activities address a multitude of environmental issues to advance civil works, water resources, military installations, and the warfighter.  Research activities include ecosystem restoration, ecological resources, contaminant management, risk and decision science, environmental sensing, ecological modeling and forecasting, environmental security, environmentally sustainable material, and toxicity assessment.  

To sustain EL’s R&D mission, this Requirements Statement outlines equipment purchases that contribute to research performed by the ERDC including but not limited to the EL.  Current needs are for a Surface Plasmon Resonance instrument that can be utilized for affinity, kinetics and active concentration data to aid in understating protein function and biological mechanisms.  The Biacore X100 SPR System Resonance Instrument would allow researchers to measure such data to assist in ongoing research topics within the EL.
