Lynnwood, WA 98036 Kongsberg Underwater Technology is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for the EM2040 MultiBeam Echosounding Systems. Kongsberg Underwater Technology does not have any exclusive agreements with any other vendor for the installation and the commissioning of their equipment in the USA. Therefore the government intends to negotiate directly with AML avoiding unnecessary mark ups, delay, warranty, and delivery issues. The requirements are as follows: Provide and deliver to NOAA Ship THOMAS JEFFERSON the following: 1.Provide Kongsberg Field Service Engineering support to perform installation and commissioning of new EM2040 Multibeam Echosounding systems on 2 Hydrographic Survey Launches assigned to NOAA Ship THOMAS JEFFERSON. a.Install transducers in accordance with approved drawings and design specifications in the hull of the Hydrographic Survey Launches in a manner which creates the least acoustic interference to the sonar system when the launch is performing hydrographic survey operations. b.Install Processing Units and Hydrographic Workstation in a standard 19" equipment rack located in the cabin of the launch. c.Make all electrical and data connections/interfaces such that the system will operate normally and function within design characteristics. d.Perform necessary tests and provide a report to NOAA of the test results and a professional analysis of the conditions found and any recommendations associated with the conditions found. e.Perform a Patch Test to validate the operational condition of the systems and to confirm accuracy and validity of acoustic data collected by the system. Provide Patch Test results to NOAA indicating proper functioning and alignment of the systems. 2.Provide the latest versions of technical documentation, Operator's Manuals/Guides, and Release Notes for all licensed Kongsberg MBES and systems and associated software products in use on NOAA Ship THOMAS JEFFERSON Hydrographic Survey Launches. The Government is not aware of any other authorized vendors that can provide this specialized service while also meeting all of the requirements/concerns listed above.
