Description

The US Department of Commerce (DOC), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Eastern Region Acquisition Division, Simplified Acquisition Branch intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Scintrex Ltd., using the procedures in FAR Part 13, to procure One (1) Scintrex CG-6 AUTOGRAV™ gravity meter (gravimeter) and related accessories.



NOAA is congressionally mandated to define, maintain, and provide access to the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS). Gravity data is a key component of the NSRS. The National Geodetic Survey (NGS) requires the ability to measure terrestrial, relative gravity quickly and accurately. Two current projects employing relative gravity meters include Gravity for the Redefinition of the American Vertical Datum (GRAV-D) and the Geoid Monitoring Service (GeMS). The GRAV-D project is collecting airborne gravity data to produce a 1-centimeter geoid in order to modernize the nation-s vertical datum. For each airborne gravity survey, an absolute gravity tie at the airport must be established. This involves measuring with an absolute gravimeter, then using a terrestrial relative gravimeter to calculate a vertical gravity gradient to transfer the value to the height of the relative gravimeter in the aircraft. The gradient is determined through a three-tiered measurement. Second, terrestrial gravity measurements are needed to support the Geoid Monitoring Service (GeMS) project, by measuring local, high precision gravity data for specific areas as needed: acquiring gravity observations in difficult to reach areas, and/or where portability is a major consideration. Currently NGS has a number of terrestrial relative gravity meters: its five LaCoste and Romberg g-meters - instruments obtained in the 1960s and 1970s - are now considered obsolete. NGS also owns a very early-model Scintrex CG-6, and a two newer production model CG6s. Compared with the older g-meter instruments, the CG6 typically obtains the re...
