59 -- MINIMUM/MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE SYSTEM ELECTRONIC SUBASSEMBLY SOL 51-DGNW-6-90167 DUE 091896 POC Eleanor E. Kaul, Contract Specialist or Gregory N. Smith, Contracting Officer, 301/713-0823 or fax 301/713-0806 This announcement supercedes CBD announcement No. 51-DGNW-6-90167 for maximum/minimum temperature systems. This announcement is for a SUBASSEMBLY of the whole system. The National Weather Service (NWS) of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has a requirement for the procurement of up to 400 maximum/minimum (max/min) temperature system (MMTS) electronic unit subassemblies to include manufacturing to Government supplied design specifications and testing of the units. The procurement shall contain two (2) options for 200 each and one (1) option for 100 each. The MMTS electronic unit subassemblies will be a part of the max/min temperature system, and shall collect, process, and display ambient temperature data, store the max/min temperature until reset, and display the max/min temperature upon query. The MMTS electronic unit subassemblies shall operate on commercial power 117 volts AC, +10%-15% at 60 Hertz (+- 5 Hertz). The MMTS electronic unit subassembly shall be encased in a plastic enclosure and shall incorporate a LED display that is readable from greater than three (3). The unit shall display in degrees Fahrenheit. All artwork, parts lists, and schematics necessary to reproduce all printed circuit boards will be provided by the NWS. The max/min temperature sysytem and its various functions are controlled by software contained in Read Only Memory (ROM) that are part of the 8048 microprocessor installed in the electronic unit. The microprocessor with the masked ROM control program will be provided by the NWS to the contractor for all preproduction and production units. Government acceptance of the MMTS electronic unit subassembly shall be contingent upon the unit successfully passing all tests associated with the Contractor's and the Government's Quality Assurance (Q/A) programs. The Q/A provisions follow a logical sequence providing thorough testing of preproduction units prior to production release followed by limited testing of production units to demonstrate compliant operation in the absence of infant-mortality. All responsible sources interested in this procurement can request a copy of this solicitation by sending a fax on company letterhead to the attention of Eleanor E. Kaul at 301/713-0806.
