66 -- METEOROLOGICAL INSTRUMENTS AND APPARATUS DUE 042699 POC Addie McLaurin, Code 1113AM, (843) 974-5978, Contracting Officer, Paulette Dillard E-MAIL: SPAWARSYSCEN Charleston, mclauria@spawar.navy.mil. This sources sought announcement is issued for the purpose of identifying sources for 8 Automated Surface Observing Systems (part # 62828-40300-10), 3 Meteorological Discontinuity Systems (part # 62828-90111-10/4500137), 25 lightning sensors for ASOS (62828-90423-20), and 25 temperature humidity sensors (62402-40019-28). Systems should meet 200v/m requirement from 1GHz to 40GHz EMI requirement. Systems must have redundant power supplies for all DC voltages, redundant CPUs, back up UPS able to operate system and all sensors for 10 minutes. Systems should be capable of an automatic power down procedure. Systems must have redundant capable communication capability. System must be capable of dialing and downloading from a remote server all site-specific information used in the algorithms for calculated information. All algorithms must conform to the ASOS standard as currently used by the U.S. Navy. Pressure sensors must be redundant and software must cross check sensor readings and eliminate readings from faulty sensor. Interface capability to existing navy equipment must be maintained (VIDS, MIDDS, ID2446 AFOS). Meteorological discontinuity groups must comply with current ASOS software and integration. Temperature/ humidity sensors (Aspirated 62402-40017-28) and lightning sensors (62828-90423-20) should be fully integrated with existing ASOS software. Request information regarding specifications, capabilities, and price of currently manufactured commercially available only. This announcement is only an expression of interest. Future requirements and procurements are uncertain. The Government does not presently have a requirement and does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this announcement. For further information contact Wayne Knight, Code 344WK, at (843) 974-4818.
