- Description
- ****Reason for this modification to FEDBIZOPPS notice is as follows: Delete: “Communication and interfacing: The instrument should provide reliable, low-cost, low-power, real-time full-duplex ASCII data transmission via an inductive modem compatible with the Seabird Electronics, Inc.” Add: “Communication and interfacing: The instrument should provide reliable, low-cost, low-power, real-time half-duplex ASCII data transmission via an inductive modem compatible with the Seabird Electronics, Inc.” NOAA’s Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) requires ATLAS 3rd Generation Sensors, to replace existing instrumentation on PMEL’S NX ATLAS moorings. PMEL desires five configurations, four of which, TM, TPM, TCM and TVM, will require First Article Testing. The new subsurface instrumentation shall be small, self-contained data loggers that sample and store data at pre-determined intervals independent of other sensors or the buoy electronics. The instruments are high-accuracy temperature modules (TM) with non-volatile memory and built-in inductive modem. These modules would also have optional configurations to measure water pressure (TPM) or high-accuracy conductivity (TCM, for the computation of salinity), and a stand-alone inductive modem (SM) with external serial RS-232 interface for in-situ direct cable interconnection with other instrumentation. Additionally a high-accuracy temperature current meter (TVM) with non-volatile memory and built-in inductive modem is desired. Overall lifecycle cost is a strong consideration, since these instruments will be used in arrays of moorings in remote locations. The instruments shall be: (1) TM – temperature, inductive modem; (2)TPM – temperature, pressure, inductive modem; (3) TCM – temperature, conductivity, inductive modem; (4)TVM – temperature, current meter, inductive modem (5) SM – External RS-232 serial interface, inductive modem. Communication and interfacing: The instrument should provide reliable, low-cost, low-power, real-time full-duplex ASCII data transmission via an inductive modem compatible with the Seabird Electronics, Inc., DPSK (differential-phase-shift-keyed) protocol, using a single, plastic-coated, mooring cable or insulated wire. The modem and inductive coil are to be integral to the instrument. User-selectable (on pre-deployment) operating modes include: Polled: On command, the modules takes one or more samples and transmits the data along with a time stamp; Autonomous: The modules sample data at pre-programmed intervals, storing the data in FLASH memory; Combo: Data at pre-programmed intervals is stored in FLASH memory and the SIM can request the last stored data with time stamp; Averaging (Continuous or Burst): Data at pre-programmed intervals is stored in FLASH memory. The SIM can periodically request the average (with time stamp) of the individual data stored since its last request. The period of performance will begin on date of contract award for an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract type and will continue for five years. A Request for Proposal (RFP) solicitation may be available on or about November 16, 2004, through this website. The approx. closing date may be 30 days after issuance of the RFP. Interested parties should use the FedBizOpps REGISTER TO RECEIVE NOTIFICATION and REGISTER AS AN INTERESTED VENDOR feature which provides notification when the RFP becomes available for download and all postings associated with the solicitation. No paper copies of the solicitation will be issued. No telephone, facsimile, or written requests will be accepted. It is incumbent upon interested parties to register at the solicitation's site for notification and to review the site frequently for any updates/amendments to any and all documents. Technical questions regarding this solicitation should be addressed in writing to Carla.A.Echols@noaa.gov. All responsible responsive sources may submit an offer which will be considere NOTE: THIS NOTICE MAY HAVE POSTED ON WWW.FEDBIZOPPS.GOV ON THE DATE INDICATED IN THE NOTICE ITSELF (10-NOV-2004). IT ACTUALLY APPEARED OR REAPPEARED ON THE FEDBIZOPPS SYSTEM ON 18-NOV-2004, BUT REAPPEARED IN THE FTP FEED FOR THIS POSTING DATE. PLEASE CONTACT fbo.support@gsa.gov REGARDING THIS ISSUE.
