- The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Environmental Technology Laboratory (ETL) has a requirement for an aircraft with visible and infrared video imaging that is capable of supporting the NOAA Fish Lidar during June, July, and August, 2002. Specific requirements are: 1. Provide aircraft for day and night surveys around Kodiak and Prince William Sound, Alaska. Aircraft requirements are: a. twin turbo-prop engines; b. IFR instrumentation; c. terrain-avoidance radar; d. de-icing capability; e. 5-hour fuel range; f. marine-band radio for communication with ships. 2. Modify aircraft to allow operation of the NOAA Fish Lidar. An aircraft with twin turboprop engines, IFR instrumentation, and deicing capability is required. In addition to any camera ports, power, space, payload capability, and positioning equipment required by the video equipment, the fish lidar requires: a. a down-looking open (no window) hole in the cabin measuring at least 14 inches by 16 inches; b. 2000 W of electrical power; c. a clear space at least 40 inches high above the hole, room beside this space for a standard 19-inch electronics rack 40 inches tall, and a seat facing the electronics rack for the operator; d. payload capacity of 400 pounds in addition to the operator; e. an exterior Global Positioning System (GPS) antenna. 3. Forty hours of flight operations, including both day and night flights. The 40 hours includes flights to and from Anchorage, AK to the work areas, but does not include any time required to ferry the aircraft to and from Anchorage. The contract shall include all fuel and pilot expenses. 4. High-resolution (minimum of 1000 pixels each dimension) color digital video images with time and GPS position information for all daylight flights. The contractor shall provide a report describing: a. the numerical distribution of herring, sea lions, whales, sea birds, and herring spawn as identified in the images for each flight; b. a map of the ocean color along each flight track from the images. 5. Thermal infrared (IR) digital video images with time and GPS position information for all flights. The contractor shall provide a report describing: a. the numerical distribution of sea lions, whales, and sea birds as identified in the images for each flight b. a comparison of the color and thermal images of each of these three types of animals. This procurement is being conducted per FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures (NTE $100,00). It is not the intent of the Government to issue a separate solicitation for this requirement. Interested sources proposing to supply this service must submit a written qualification statement by fax, clearly establishing capability to meet the above requirements.
