Solicitation Number: NRMA00002300377SML Notice Type: Sources Sought Synopsis Title: Applanix POS MV OceanMaster Inertial Navigation Systems Response Date: March 3, 2023 This is a SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS and is not a pre-solicitation announcement. The purpose of this Market Research and Sources Sought Notice is to gain knowledge of potential qualified U.S. Domestic businesses, which could include Small Business, HUBZone, 8(a), Service Disabled Veteran Owned, Women Owned Small Business firms and even Large Businesses. Responses to this Sources Sought Synopsis will be used by the Government in making appropriate acquisition decisions. The NOAA Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory (GLERL) uses inertial navigation systems to provide accurate position, heading, attitude, heave, and velocity data of marine vessel and hydrographic survey equipment. The GLERL is a multidisciplinary environmental research laboratory that provides scientific understanding to inform the use and management of Great Lakes and coastal marine environments. The Lake Michigan Field Station (LMFS) in Muskegon, MI is a government owned facility in support of all missions of the GLERL in Ann Arbor, MI. Vessel support is a large part of the LMFS function and includes operating vessels that need cutting edge geophysical survey capabilities. Therefore, the GLERL requires quantity three (3) Applanix POS MV OceanMaster Inertial Navigation Systems, which are comprised of an essential suite of equipment necessary to maintain or develop our vessel’ geophysical survey capabilities. INTENDED USE/PURPOSE: The Applanix POS MV is a turnkey system that blends GNSS data with angular rate and acceleration data from an IMU, and heading from GPS Azimuth Measurement System to produce a robust and accurate full six degrees-of-freedom position and orientation solution. Due to its ability to interpret motion-data (roll, pitch, heave, velocity, etc.), an inertial navigation system like the Applanix POS MV is the only tool capable of supplying the requisite position and motion data required by advance hydrographic and geophysical survey instrumentation. SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS/ESSENTIAL SALIENT FEATURES: Systems are comprised of the following items: POS MV Computer System (PCS), Rack Mount (RM) with RTK option Inertial Measurement Unit in IP65 “Between Decks” housing IMU cable (8m) GNSS antenna (quantity 2) GNSS cable (10m, quantity 2) 5-year warranty DELIVERY SCHEDULE: Within 30 days of purchase to Musekgon, MI.
