Description
The Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk (FLCN) is seeking information on qualified sources for ocean surface instruments. The instruments should operate remotely in the ocean environment and provide at a minimum the capability to collect ocean temperature data. The proposed instruments must meet a shelf life standard of eighteen months before requiring battery pack replacement or sensor recalibrations.
Some key features and requirements of the instruments include:
• Air and vessel deployment capabilities
• Power system longevity variance of 1 hour and above
• Communication variances using Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) approved transmitters/receivers with government specified encryption capability
• Sensor packages for conductivity, temperature, and depth (CTD), currents, bioluminescence, acoustic, echosounders, and wave spectra
• Instrument data integration services and calibration services
• Maintenance services for the instrument body
The contractor shall provide a warranty of up to one year prior to deployment and replacement of instruments that fail upon deployment due to instrument failures outside government control at no cost to the government.
