Description
The National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Fisheries, southeast Fisheries Science Center (SEFSC) uses underwater moorings to collect various sources of data on the status of marine resources. Configurable data types include passive and active acoustic, sonar, video, environmental, and eDNA data. The application of these diverse datasets is wide but includes the enumeration of reef fishes, assessment of suitable habitat, and identification of protected species, which collectively feed into Southeast Data, Assessment, and Review (SEDAR) products. The difficulties in effectively surveying resources using video in habitats with low visibility have resulted in the allocation of funds to develop next-generation survey techniques, which include altering survey platforms to include acoustic technology. Specifically, imaging sonar instrumentation.
The period of performance for this contract is expected to begin July 01, 2024, through to June 30th 2029. The anticipated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 334511, Search Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing, which has a small business standard of 1350 employees. The period will include the initial purchase of two (2) imaging sonars. If the pilot tests are successful there will be options to purchase up to an additional four (4) imaging sonars.
The minimum technical specifications for the imaging sonar are:
1. Must operate at dual frequencies greater than 1.8 and a minimum of 3.0 MHz to produce acceptable, high-quality images.
2. Must be capable of producing real-time, near video quality images (minimum of 15 frames per second) in zero visibility and turbid environments.
3. Must have an adjustable imaging range scale out to a maximum of 15 meters during low-frequency operation and a minimum of 5 meters during high-frequency operation
4. Must have the ability to focus so...
