J -- MAINTENANCE AND TRAINING SUPPORT SERVICES FOR THE VIBRATION AND INFRARED MONITOR SOL DTCG85-99-R-SEA/STAR02 POC Sharon D. Hunter, Contracting Officer, 510-437-3996 E-MAIL: shunter@d11.uscg.mil, ERROR --. The USCG Maintenance and Logistics Command Pacific, Naval Engineering Division is seeking sources to provide maintenance and training support services for the shipboard vibration and infrared monitoring maintenance system onboard the USCGC HEALY. The maintenance and support services needs are as follows:1) On-site equipment grooms (two scheduled visits per year) of the vibration monitoring system including all portable and permanently mounted equipment and sensors in addition to the portable equipment located onboard the cutter. 2) On-site equipment grooms of the infrared monitoring system including all portable and permanently mounted equipment and sensors in addition to the portable equipment located onboard the cutter.3) Technical consultation for troubleshooting and repairing monitored equipment via phone, facsimile, or on-site visits (homeport and world wide, as required). 4) Hardware (both data collection equipment and computer) and software configuration management services and support. 5) Maintain a mirror copy of the CGC HEALY vibration/infrared database for use during remote support efforts initiated by the Government both in port and underway. 6) Provide training instruction services to shipboard and shore-based personnel. The scope of training services will include vibration and infrared monitoring theory, application of theory, portable equipment operator training and permanently mounted data collection equipment. USCGC HEALY vibration monitoring systems, equipment and software located onboard the cutter includes: 1) The VSC "SpectraViB" (Model SV3X) programmable 4-channel spectral vibration data acquisition and analysis device. The "SpectraVib SV3X" is capable of real time balancing, motor current signature analysis, and route data collection with pre-installed analysis software. 2) The "Protect" vibration analysis software package supplied by VSC with a single layer, user-adaptive neural net vibration analysis engine. 3) The "WinProtect" vibration analysis software supplied by VSC with a single layer, user-adaptive neural net vibration analysis engine and an infrared thermographic image analysis and archiving feature. 4) Test point identification electronic chips (16-byte, read only supplied by "Macsema") with numerical identification correlated to machinery vibration database information. 5) An ID Chip Reader and software to interface with the "SpectraViB" vibration data acquisition systems. 6) VSC supplied "SpectraViB" vibration data acquisition accessories including tri-axial accelerometer, transducer quick disconnects for tri-axial accelerometer, transducer cabling, power charger, phase reference marker, null modem communications cable, technical manual. 7) A precision machinery alignment system ( Easy Laser SA-10) provided by VSC as part of the vibration monitoring program. USCGC HEALY Infrared monitoring systems, equipment and software located onboard the cutter includes: 1) The VSC supplied "WinProtect" vibration analysis software with a single layer, user-adaptive neural network vibration analysis engine and an infrared thermographic image analysis and archiving feature. 2) The "InfraSoft" infrared thermographic image analysis and storage software. 3) The "Video Therm 2000" infrared thermography camera system. The Coast Guard is unable to provide any technical documentation or software code for existing systems onboard CGC HEALY. The existing system was purchased from Vibration Specialties Corp. (VSC), 100 Geiger Rd, Philadelphia, PA 19115, (215) 698-0800. Interested sources must provide a capability statement by 27 May 1999 to: Commander, vpl, MLCPAC, Coast Guard Island, Bldg. 50-7, Alameda, CA 94501-5100, Attn: Sharon D. Hunter.
