- A determination not to compete this proposed contract was made pursuant to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.501(a)(1). Greatbatch, Ltd. dba Electrochem Solutions is the only known business that can provide customized lithium battery packs to power High-Frequency Acoustic Recording Package (HARP) datalogger systems for long-term underwater acoustic recordings which are specifically compatible with the HARPs in use by NOAA which were developed by Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO). Battery packs are required to be specially designed to fit within the HARP pressure case. The battery packs must provide for continuous 100mA or lower current draw at not less than 3V for at least 27Ah at 0o C for individual cells. Battery packs are required to maintain continuous acoustic recordings at remote monitoring sites. Each recording site is acoustically sampling at 200kHz or 320kHz, either continuously or duty-cycled for up to one year. Lithium batteries must be supported by the technical staff SIO, where the HARPs are produced and must be designed in accordance with the electrical and physical specifications required for the instrumentation. The battery packs must have undergone extensive testing in controlled laboratory and field environments and be proven to be highly reliable and compatible with the existing HARPs.
