- Description
- The U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC) intends to acquire 7 archival Pop-Up-X-PTT-100 Satellite Transmitters. The salient characteristics for brand name or equal: Tag Programming: By manufacturer Deployment: Remove magnet Data transmission: ARGOS - data transmission maximized by SiV (Satellite in View). Memory: 64 MB non-volatile ARGOS message bandwidth: 10,000 to 15,000+ with SiV in the X-tag Data Transcript: By manufacturer Satellite Data products: Raw time series of external temperature, pressure (depth) and a daily estimate of geolocation using changes in ambient light levels (provided by manufacturer). Light, temperature and depth are acquired at 15 min. to 60 min. intervals in the X-tag and PTT-100 (depends on mission time). Fine scale acquisition rates of 1-6 minutes available in the PTT-100HR (high rate) tag for up to 30 days. Temperature Range and Resolution: -4ºC to +60º, 0.176ºC resolution for ARGOS data and 0.04ºC resolution for archived data. Depth Range and Resolution: 0-1296m, 5.38m resolution for ARGOS data and 1.27m resolution for archived data. Pressure Release and "Fail-safe" Mechanisms to detect mortality (or how a tag saves itself from imploding at depth): Corrosional - threshold depth - Corrosional link on nosecone of the tag itself, activates = 1200m (for at least 15 min.) to jettison tag to initiate transmission procedures at surface. Corrosional - shed tag - Constant pressure (user-defined period, e.g. 4 days), will jettison tag to initiate transmission procedures at surface. Weight of tag (in air): From 40g (X-tag) to 65-68g [PTT-100] Dimensions: 40mm x 216mm (+ 121mm antennae) PTT-100; 120MM x 32mm (+ 150mm antennae), X-tag Pressure Rating: 2000m (3000psi), PTT-100, 2500m (3500psi), X-tag Pull Strength of Eyelet which secures the tether: 150 lbs, X-tag; 120 lbs, PTT-100 The government knows of only one source Microwave Telemetry capable of providing the PSAT Tags that would meet the government requirement. To be considered, firms must furnish detailed specifications of the PSAT Tags being offered and their capability to provide the product and satisfy or exceed the Government's needs. Such information shall include, at a minimum, name, telephone number and address of concerns for whom you have furnished this type of product previously, and detailed narrative that described your facility and ability to provide this product, along with the individual work knowledge and experience. Interested parties must respond within (3) days after publication of this notice. The government knows of only one source. The government invites firms that believe they have the capability to meet the requirement to response, providing specific information that will enable the government to determine whether or not to compete the requirement. Faxed information can be sent to 808-983-2900 or emailed to Bonnie.Oshiro@noaa.gov.
