- Description
- The U.S. Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Central Administrative Support Center (CASC), Acquisitions Management Division (AMD) intends to purchase eight (8) multi-parameter water quality loggers; four (4) field data loggers with multi-parameter display systems and two (2) multi-parameter handheld instruments. The multi-parameter water quality logger unit must be compatible with instruments (YSI 6600 EDS) in the National Estuarine Research Reserves. The unit must be capable of measuring and storing data for temperature, conductance, pH, dissolved oxygen, depth, oxidation-reduction potential, turbidity, chlorophyll at depths to 200 feet. The instrument must have the capability of sorting a minimum of 150,000 individual readings. Probes must be field replaceable without opening the sonde or exposing the internal electronics to the environment. A flat glass sensor face is required for the pH sensor. The pH sensor must use a gel electrolyte that does not have to be replaced during the use-time of the sensor. The unit must be deployable in an unattended, automatic mode and have the capability of interface with a field unit for intra-deployment monitoring. The unit must have an anti-fouling mechanism for long-term deployment (30 days or more) in a high fouling marine environment. Battery life and memory storage must be sufficient for long-term deployment, and loss of battery power must not affect memory. Batteries must be removable without opening the sonde. The unit must be capable of discrete profiling via interface with the hand-held field unit. The unit must be warranted for two (2) years and the probes for one (1) year. The Field data logger with multi-parameter display system unit must be compatible with instruments (YSI 650) in the National Ocean Service CCEHBR laboratory. The unit must be capable of calibrating sensors, diagnosing sensor performance, downloading data from the sonde, and uploading data to a PC. The unit must have an internal barometer that displays real-time, uncorrected pressure, GPS interface capability, and be powered by a ?quick-charge? rechargeable battery pack. It must be housed in a waterproof, impact resistant case. The unit must have a minimum of 1.5 MB memory, and be capable of time and date stamping each stored datum. The unit must be warranted for three (3) years. Multi-parameter handheld instrument unit must be compatible with instruments (YSI 556) in the National Ocean Service CCEHBR laboratory. The unit must be capable of measuring, displaying, and storing data for dissolved oxygen, pH, conductivity, temperature, oxidation-reduction potential. The unit must be capable of interval and manual logging, have a minimum of 1.5 MB memory, and be capable of time and date stamping each stored datum. The handheld unit must have an internal barometer and be powered by a ?quick-charge? rechargeable battery pack. It must be housed in a waterproof, impact resistant case with an attached hand strap. Electrodes for the instrument are required to be field replaceable. The instrument must be warranted for three (3) years and the probes for one (1) year. This equipment will be used by the NOAA, National Ocean Services (NOS), Hollings Marine Laboratory, at Charleston, South Carolina.
