- Description
- The U.S. Department of Commerce, NOAA has a requirement for the acquisition of Item 0001 - trawl survey mensuration equipment. The system includes multiple deck terminal, original sensors and replacement sensors for routine use on bottom and mid-water trawl surveys. The system shall be capable of being deployed and operating reliably at depths up to 300 meters. The required equipment includes Deck Terminal system and monitors capable of receiving, interpreting, displaying and logging acoustic signals transmitted from net-deployed sensors; A hull mounted transducer; spread/distance sensors to measure and log accuracy of +/-1 meter, quotes should include accessory equipment (batteries, chargers, mounting equipment) required to deploy sensors on wing ends and doors. Chargers should operate on 115V +/- 10%; Headrope Height Sensor designed to either directly or indirectly measure and acoustically transmit the height of the net headrope off the bottom. Optional equipment includes item 0002 Bottom Contact Sensor - if available, to sense whether they are in contact with the bottom and acoustically report this information to a ship deployed transducer. This sensor should be capable of continuously reporting contact or non-contact with the bottom. Item 0003 Portable Transducers ? if available, or towable transducers that can be deployed off vessels without fixed attachment to the vessel hull. Item 0004 Depth Sensors ? if available, capable of measuring and acoustically reporting depth to a ship deployed transducer. Depth sensors must be capable of measurement accuracy of +/- 1 meter. Item 0005 Temperature Sensor - Some systems have an optional temperature sensor capable of measuring and acoustically reporting temperature to a ship deployed transducer. Depth sensors must be capable of measurement accuracy of +/- 1 degree Celcius. In some systems, the capability is built into another type of sensor. Item 0006 Symmetry Sensor - Some systems have a symmetry sensor that provides information on the water flow orientation in relation to the towing direction and underwater currents. Item 0007 Replacement Mounting Hardware by Specific Sensor - Most systems have custom hardware utilized to attach sensors to net and doors. This hardware needs to be replaced periodically when it fails or is damaged. Quotations related to hardware should refer to specific sensors when mounting equipment is not universal. This is a combined synopsis/request for quotation for commercial items prepared IAW FAR 12.6. This synopsis constitutes the only Request for Quotation (RFQ) and incorporates provisions and clauses in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 01-14; quotes are being requested and a written RFQ will not be issued.
