- Description
- The National Data Buoy Center intends to negotiate only with Teledyne Benthos, Inc. of North Famouth, MA for 34 each directional AM transducers with preamp electronics, Model Number AT 421. In order to meet stringent power requirements for long term deployments, the DART acoustic modem PCBs must be highly configurable and user modifiable. Benthos is the only known manufacturer of acoustic modem PCBs that allows NOAA the degree of control necessary to ensure that power use is minimized. Thus, the Benthos acoustic modem PCBs are used in the current DART systems. The firmware and drives that control these modem functions are deeply embedded in the DART system design. The requested Benthos transducers and modem PCBs currently used in the DART system are the only components that can work in the system and as replacements on the deployed buoys. Presently, Benthos is the only known vendor that meets the requirements for the DART II Program. In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Benthos Acoustic Transducers, which are classified as commercial items, shall be procured using simplified acquisition procedures under the authority of FAR Part 12, Acquisitions of Commercial Items - General. The NAICS code for this procurement is 334419. The competitive RFQ, Amendments, and all questions and answers related to this procurement will be made available via the internet at http://www.fbo.gov/. Offers on items other than the model numbers listed in the description will not be considered. All quotes can be submitted via e-mail to faith.smith@noaa.gov or fax (228) 688-3153 or U.S. Postal Mail: National Data Buoy Center Attn: Faith Smith Building 1007 Stennis Space Center, MS 39529 Please submit all questions via e-mail to faith.smith@noaa.gov
