The U.S. Geological Survey requires 3-channel accelerometers, 24 each, for 24-bit digital seismic stations to be added to an existing seismic network operated by the USGS, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and other institutions, to enhance tsunami warning capabilities in the Pacific region. The government's requirements are as follows: response from DC to 200Hz, dynamic range of 120 dB or greater, supports full-scale range of +/- 2.0g with +/- 10V single-ended user output, sensor self-noise less than 10^-12 m^2/s^2/Hz from 1 Hz to 25Hz, operate from single +12V power supply consuming less than 35 milliamps, hysteresis less 0.1% of full scale, less than 1% cross-axis sensitivity, and linear unclipped output for ground motion up to 2g over the stated bandwidth. Units must have mounting hardware to secure to concrete platform, leveling bubble or equivalent, facility for zero adjustment, and be watertight. Delivery to Menlo Park, CA 120 days ARO. This acquisition is 100% set-aside for small business concerns.
