The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA), Acquisition and Grants Officer (AGO), Eastern Acquisition Division (EAD), is seeking information from potential sources for the National Weather Service (NWS), National Data Buoy Center (NDBC), to identify potential sources capable of providing underwater low frequency (LF) directional acoustic modems used by the NDBC DART II tsunami detection system, in order to report changes in the bottom pressure recording to the buoy, for transmission back to the shore. The LF directional acoustic modems used are the Teledyne Benthos ATM-903 OEM Board Sets with LF Directional Transducer and 6.9.7 Firmware, and ATM-900 OEM Board Sets with 6.9.7 Firmware. Specifications are attached. The acoustic modems are an essential link in the tsunami data transmission link. These modems provide an acoustic link between the surface buoy and the recorder deployed on the ocean floor that detects the passage of a tsunami by the change in pressure of the water column over the detector. This allows the real time reporting of data collected at the sea floor back to the buoy for transmission shore side to the warning and modeling centers via satellites. NOAA/NWS/NDBC is seeking the following information: a. Name of company, address and DUNS number or CAGE code of the company interested.? b. A point of contact? phone number and email? c. A statement regarding current size of the company under the NAICS Code is 334511. This must be the vendor's NAICS listing within the System for Award Management (SAM) for NOAA to verify your size status? d. Commercial market information and practices applicable to this item/supply? e. Confirmation that your company can provide commercial Low Frequency directional acoustic modems, and can communicate with equipment running firmware version 6.9.7.
