About this file
This statement of need requests a compact underwater imaging system and classification system. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Marine Fisheries Service, Northeast Fisheries Science Center requires the system to collect depth discrete plankton data and images to describe the vertical distribution and habitat of zooplankton prey of critically endangered North Atlantic right whales. The system must be self-contained with a minimum 6-hour battery life, 6 megapixel color images from 0.05-10mm with 10 frames per second, 500m depth rating, compact design under 30 inches long and 15 pounds, and data communication via Ethernet, WiFi or RS-232. Delivery is requested to the NOAA Northeast Fisheries Science Center in Narragansett, Rhode Island by September 1, 2023. Invoicing shall be in arrears of tasks with the final invoice within 30 days of completion, and payments will follow the Federal Acquisition Regulation for prompt payment.

STATEMENT OF NEED
NF-FM7811-23-01862
Right whale prey underwater imaging system
BACKGROUND / SCOPE / MISSION: The Oceans and Climate and Protected Species Branches of the NOAA, NMFS, Northeast Fisheries Science Center investigate physical and biological oceanographic processes of the pelagic environment and protected species. They often collaborate to better understand and respond to climate related impacts on marine resources including planktonic food of North Atlantic Right Whales. They have ongoing projects related to foraging locations of the critically endangered North Atlantic right whale.
INTENDED USE / PURPOSE:
Contractor shall provide all the labor, materials, equipment, batteries, microscope, power supply, cables, chargers, warranty, and shipping for one (1) compact underwater imaging system. The imaging system is needed to collect depth discrete plankton data to describe right whale prey habitat. The plankton images will be used to describe vertical distribution patterns of right whale zooplankton prey in relation to foraging right whales. The salient and functional characteristics of the system are:
· Self contained light source.
· Image requirements: Color images of objects from 0.05-mm to 10-mm. Minimum image resolution of 6 mega pixels, minimum 10 frames per second.
· Power source: Ability to use both internal battery or external power source.
· Minimum 6 hours of battery life.
· Image recognition: Embedded Region of Interest (ROI) extraction, and optional ROI classification system.
· Data communication using Ethernet, WiFi, or RS232.
· Depth rating: Minimum depth rating of 500-m.
· Ability to be used as a vertical profiling instrument.
· Compact design that allows the instrument to be paired with current equipment: less than 30 inches in length, less than 12 inches in diameter, and less than 15 pounds (in air).
DELIVERY LOCATION: NOAA, NMFS, Northeast Fisheries Science Center, 28 Tarzwell Drive, Narragansett, RI 02882. Harvey Walsh is the designated POC. Harvey can be reached Monday through Friday, 8:00 am - 4:00 pm or by email harvey.walsh@noaa.gov.
DELIVERY SCHEDULE: On or before 01 September 2023.
INVOICING: Contractor shall provide “proper” invoices in arrears of tasks performed (and expensed) with the last invoice being submitted within 30 days of contract completion. Invoices shall be submitted (via electronic copy) no later than by the 10th day of the billing month.
