- Description
- The U.S. Department of Interior, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is issuing this source sought synopsis as a means of conducting market research to identify parties having an interest in and the resources to support this requirement for multiparameter water quality sonde with probes to measure the dissolved oxygen, turbidity, conductivity, temperature, pH depth, and chlorophyll to provide fishery habitat data. Also required is a multiparameter water quality meter to monitor temperature, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, conductivity, and pH of ponds where behavioral research is conducted. Both pieces of equipment must be compatible with the EXO2, ProDSS and shall include the following characteristics: a) Must be equipped with automated wipers to clean the sensor�s surface, thereby maintaining data integrity over long deployments. b) Must offer wet-mateable connectors that are corrosion resistant. c) Must have smart sensors that allow them to be interchanged between sondes without recalibration. d) Must have the ability to record data autonomously in the field for up to 90 days. e) Shall be a single cable design with lengths up to 100 meters. f) Shall use 4 port cables featuring replaceable sensors, ability to use any 4 sensor parameters, and ability to sense depth g) Large memory in the handheld allowing for more than 100,000 data points h) Shall include KorDSS software (which we already use) and USB on-the-go connector to assist in data management. The result of this market research will contribute to determining the method of procurement. The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS)Code assigned to this source sought is 334511 � Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing.
