The Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) Fleet Logistics Center (FLC) Norfolk, Contracting Department, Philadelphia Office requests responses from qualified sources capable of providing the following for the United States Naval Academy (USNA): USNA requires seventeen (17) air-launched autonomous micro observer profiling floats. The products must be air-deployable ocean CTD (conductivity, temperature, depth) profiling floats capable of measuring temperature to +0.002oC over the range of -5oC to 35oC, salinity to +0.01 PSU, and pressure to +2.4 dbar (industry standard error specifications) to a depth of 1200m for more than 1000 observations. Four (4) of the 17 units will also be equipped with an acoustic system capable of full spectrum (10 Hz to 160 kHz) recording and processing. The sensor location must be measured using positions from the Global Positioning System (GPS) and reported along with profile and engineering data by Iridium short burst data packets and received by email for further transfer to NOAA/AOML in the standard Argo PHY (physical units file) format. The instrument must conform to the following: must be deployable from the A-sized stern chute of a USAF WC-130J aircraft during hurricane reconnaissance missions at speeds up to 240 kts. The float must be capable of both park and profile missions (typical for Argo floats) as well as adaptive sampling schemes that are communicated mid-mission to allow for increased measurements at shallower depths during hurricane passage. All other air-deployed profiling floats meeting the sampling and error specifications require opening the aircraft ramp mid-flight for sensor deployment. For deployment during hurricane reconnaissance missions, the stern ramp remains closed, and the profilers must be deployed via the A-sized chute. The profiler must also be equipped with a scuttling feature so it can be prevented from drifting into other countries territorial waters.
