Description
NOAA, AGO, Eastern Acquisition Division (EAD) intends to issue a new firm-fixed-price (FFP) purchase order to Teledyne Benthos on a sole source basis for the purchase of six (6) Low-Frequency Directional Acoustic Modems supporting printed circuit board sets in support of the Deep-Ocean Assessment and Reporting of Tsunamis for the National Weather Service (NWS), National Data Buoy Center at Stennis Space Center, MS.
The Government intends to utilize the authority under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b)(1), Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services will satisfy agency requirements, unless, as a result of this announcement, acceptable responses to this notice are received and a determination is made by the Government to issue a competitive solicitation. The Government intends to award a purchase order to Teledyne Benthos for the procurement of six (6) proprietary ATM-800 acoustic modems and associated components for the NWS, NDBC based on their compatibility in form, fit and function with already existing systems as replenishment spares.
The ATM-800 acoustic modem boards required must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit, and function) with the existing Teledyne Benthos ATM-803-LR2 acoustic modems used in the NWS NDBC Tsunami detection systems. The NDBC tsunami detection systems use the ATM-803 acoustic modems on the bottom pressure recorder (BPR) to transmit the pressure column data back to a top side buoy. Due to the continuous motion of the buoy and to provide redundant backups two acoustic modems are used on the buoy to ensure detection of the BPR. The tsunami detection system just recently completed an update to fourth generation acoustic modems from Teledyne Benthos. The NDBC identified a failure mode in the acoustic modems where a diode and MOSFET chip would be burned up and the acoustic modem would not function. This failure mode does not happen all modems and appeared to be a random failure. Aft...
