The U.S. Geological Survey intends to award a non-competitive firm fixed-price purchase order under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) to Seafloor Systems to continue an extended maintenance agreement (Extended Maintenance Agreement)for POS MV Wavemastr II System, integrated data acquisition software and hardware provided by Applanix Corp through their sole U.S. reseller of equipment, Seafloor Systems, Inc. for the period of 09/18/2022 ¿09/17/2023. The Applanix data acquisition software and hardware provide a unified software interface to existing instruments. Yearly EMA renewals allow USGS to download updated documentation and software modules, firmware updates for hardware to ensure proper operation, and give access to 24/7 technical support. This support is critical for field operations, ensuring that the USGS has the latest hardware and software support for instrumentation that provides critical field data for several funded on-going CMGP field programs. Applanix supplies a single data acquisition program, POSView, which fulfills the need for an interface to collect remote sensing data delivered by the POS MV Wavemaster hardware. USGS currently utilize this software in field programs, and Applanix are the only manufacturer that supplies software/hardware EMA support for the POSView software needed to operate our motion reference unit supplied by Applanix, the POS MV Wavemaster, which is critical for collecting accurate data from the swath bathymetric instruments. The POSPac GNSS post-processing software allows members of the USGS to refine and correct for any errors encountered during the collection of the raw POS MV data.
