This instrumentation is often deployed in remote regions with extreme climatevariability, local regulations, and minimal operational attendants. As a result, thefollowing requirements must be met - compact/portability, low energy consumption,integrated data analysis software, continued instrument development, and long termunmonitored instrument reliability. There is also a need to remain consistent with otherlarge research and monitoring stations requiring a large preexisting network of devicesfor data quality and assurance. In addition, the enhanced sensitivity of this instrument allows not only for verticalprofiles but also for innovative usage, such as unique mounting on a scanning pedestal.These capabilities are not available with other models of ceilometers.[The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12.Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform theeffort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 4:30 p.m. local timeon February 17, 2011.
