- Description
- This combined synopsis and solicitation is being posted to the Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) page located at http://www.fbo.gov. It is understood that FBO is the single point of entry for posting of synopsis and solicitation to the internet. This is a combined synopsis and solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 13.5 Simplified Procedures for Certain Commercial Items and in accordance with FAR Subpart 12.6-Streamlined Procedures for Evaluation and Solicitation for Commercial Items, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. A Naval Distributed Temperature Sensor Unit Comparison will be completed via a Two (2) Phase process. Phase One (1) will be for the offeror to demonstrate its products capabilities. The government will evaluate and test potential offeror's Fiber Optic Distributed Temperature Sensor (DTS) units in accordance with the technical parameters listed below. This phase will be at contractor expense and the government is not obligated to provide funds associated with this phase. Phase Two (2) will be conducted to notify qualified vendors and to allow for the receipt and evaluation of quotes once testing has been completed. The result of this phase will be a competitive award for a base and options as defined further below. Phase One (1): Evaluation and Testing of DTS Units The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Newport is conducting testing to validate technical specifications of multiple Fiber Optic Distributed Temperature Sensor (DTS) units by measuring the water temperature in real time along a cable. Fiber optic cables will be provided by the Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Newport (NUWCDIVNPT). Test Date: Monday, December 4 th, 2017 through Friday, December 8 th 2017. Test Location: Naval Undersea Warfare Center Seneca Lake Detachment, Dresden, New York. NOTE: The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Newport will not provide any funding for participation. Companies interested in participating should contact Jason Buck at jason.buck@navy.mil. Participants must execute a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) prior to arrival. If your product contains any hazardous material in any form, the participants must state so in their request for participation in the demonstration. Participants must attest its product meets or exceeds the minimum requirements listed in the table below in order to participate in the demonstration. All participating companies will be made aware that collected data shall not be duplicated, used or disclosed in whole or in part without the written permission of the offeror. All data will be protected as proprietary source selection information. Phase 2 The pass/fail criteria appear in Table 1 below. If a candidate fails to meet any of the Pass/Fail criteria, the candidate will be removed from consideration under Phase 2. Table 2 lists the tradeoff parameters that the government may consider following the tests. Tradeoff parameters only apply to candidates that meet or exceed all of the Pass/Fail criteria, i.e. a candidate that does not meet all of the Pass/Fail criteria cannot be remediated by tradeoff consideration. The following parameters are treated as Pass/Fail: Sensing Distance, Temperature Sensing Range, Temperature/Spatial/Time Resolution, Ambient Operating Temperature Range, and Cooling Method. Pass/Fail Criteria The following are applicable to both Single Mode and Multi-Mode Distributed Temperature Sensors Parameters Minimum Requirements Sensing Distance ≥ 1.5km Temperature Sensing Range 0 o C ≤ x ≥ 70 o C Temperature and Distance Resolution within Time Achieve 0.1 o C in 1m within 3min or less sample time Ambient Operating Temperature Range 0 o C ≤ x ≥ 50 o C Cooling Method Air cooled Parameter/Factor Capability Levels Mode Single-mode and or Multi-mode Both single and Multi-mode Number of Channels 1 to 2 channels 3 to 6 channels 7+ channel Maximum Acceptable Dimensions 0.5m x 0.5 x 0.3m 0.5m x 0.483m x 0.134m (19 inch rack mountable) 0.4m x 0.27m x 0.085m Weight < 50kg < 25kg < 10kg Interface Serial Serial and Ethernet Serial, Ethernet, and other methods The factors above are listed in descending order of importance. Capability levels within each factor are listed in ascending order of preference. All non-price factors, when combined, are significantly more important than Price. Price will increase in importance as competing proposals approach equality in non-price factors or when Price is so significantly high as to diminish the value of technical superiority to the Government.
