MASC Acquisition Management, Michelle.A.Bernal@noaa.gov. The National
Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) proposes to negotiate on a
sole source basis contract under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1)
with ENSCI Inc. for 100 Ozonesonde Model 2Z with V2C Interface Boards
with the following critical specifications: 1) Sensor for detecting
ozone must be of the electrochemical concentration cell (ECC) type. 2)
Pump must be non-reactive with ozone and capable of working in the
altitude range of 0-35km. A thermistor for measuring pump temperature
must be mounted in the pump. 3) Ozonesonde must be capable of measuring
ozone with an accuracy and precision of 5 percent over the altitude
range of 0-30km and for ozone mixing ratios of 0-15 parts per million
by volume. 4) Ozonesonde must provide an electronics interface with the
Vaisala-80 radiosonde with the following capabilities: a) Capable of
mounting within the chassis of the ozonesonde and interconnecting with
the sensor output and the pump thermistor with all connections
provided. b) Provide power source (battery) for interface board and
pump operation. c) Capable of providing 1 second data output. d) Sensor
current must be read with 12 bit accuracy. e) Be able to provide
conversion of the Vaisala RS-80 pressure, temperature and humidity
information as well as the ozonesonde sensor current and pump
thermistor resistance and produce a data stream that can be transmitted
by the RS-80 radiosonde. f) Be compatible with the NOAA Climate
Monitoring and Diagnostics Laboratory ozonesonde software and data
processing routines. 5) Ozonesonde must be housed in a container that
maintains the environmental conditions in the temperature range 10-30
degrees Celsius. 6) The ozonesonde and its container must weight 1.5
kilograms or less. This procurement is being conducted per FAR Part 13,
Simplified Acquisition Procedures. This synopsis is issued for
