16. NOAA ACQUISITION AND GRANTS OFFICE OMBUDSMAN (OCT 2016)

2. Advise as to technologies and solutions within the marketplace that the Government may not be aware of, or is not fully benefiting from.

3. Identify constraints in transparency and process.

b. The AGO Ombudsman will objectively, reasonably, and responsibly collaborate with parties and recommend fair, impartial, and constructive solutions to the matters presented to him/her. Further, the AGO Ombudsman will maintain the reasonable and responsible confidentiality of the source of a concern, when such a request has been formally made by an authorized officer of an organization seeking to do business with, or already doing business with NOAA.

PAGE 13 OF 20 1305M219QNFFK0050

c. Before consulting with the AGO Ombudsman, interested parties must first address their concerns, issues, disagreements, and/or recommendations with the respective contracting officer for resolution. However, direct access to the AGO Ombudsman may be sought when an interested party questions the objectivity or equity of a contracting officer’s decision, or when there is a bona fide reason to believe that reasonable, responsible, and objective consideration will not be received from an assigned contracting officer.

d. There are several constraints to the scope of the AGO Ombudsman’s authority, for instance:

1. Consulting with the AGO Ombudsman does not alter or postpone the timelines of any formal process (e.g., protests, claims, debriefings, employee employer actions, activities involving A76 competition performance decisions, judicial or congressional hearings, or proposal, amendment, modification or deliverable due dates, etc.).

2. The AGO Ombudsman cannot participate in the evaluation of proposals, source selection processes, or the adjudication of protests or formal contract disputes.

6. The AGO Ombudsman has no authority to render a decision that binds AGO, NOAA, the Department of Commerce, or the U.S. Government.

7. The AGO Ombudsman is not NOAA’s agent relative to the service of magistrate or judicial process and cannot be used to extend service of process to another party (whether federal, public, or a private entity).

e. After review and analysis of a filed concern or recommendation, the AGO Ombudsman may refer the interested party to another more suitable federal official for consideration. Moreover, concerns, disagreements, and/or recommendations that cannot be resolved by the AGO Ombudsman will need to be pursued through more formal venues.

f. The AGO Ombudsman is not to be contacted to request copies of forms and/or documents under the purview of a contracting officer. Such documents include Requests for Information, solicitations, amendments, contracts, modifications, or conference materials.

g. Questions regarding this solicitation and contract language shall be directed to Rafael Roman, NOAA AGO Ombudsman, at Rafael.Roman@noaa.gov.

STATEMENT OF NEED

NFFKHC40-19-00611

PURPOSE: The purpose of the requisition is to procure new wave sensors for the Chesapeake Bay Interpretive Buoy System (CBIBS)

SCOPE OR MISSION: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), NOAA Chesapeake Bay Office (NCBO) is located in Annapolis, MD and operates the Chesapeake Bay Interpretive Buoy System (CBIBS), a network of ten buoys deployed throughout the Chesapeake Bay.

BACKGROUND: Since its’ inception in 2007, the CBIBS has operated with WatchKeeper buoys manufactured by AXYS technologies. Moving into 2019, the system is being redeployed using a smaller buoy, the CB-1250, manufactured by Fondriest Environmental. As part of the migration, the system needs a new generation of wave sensors to replace the AXYS TriAXYS that are intended for use with the WatchKeeper buoy.

Technical Requirements

Communication requirements

The wave sensor shall communicate with the onboard buoy data-controller using RS-232 serial communication. The wave sensor shall use RS-232 for programming, setup, and diagnostics when connected to a computer terminal program.

Data requirements

The wave sensor shall report the following wave information once per 30 minute interval:

Average wave height Maximum wave height Significant wave height Mean spectral period Peak period Mean wave direction Wave direction spread

In addition to these summary statistics, full resolution (spectral, if appropriate) data shall be retained on a removable memory card.

Range, resolution, and accuracy

The wave sensor shall be capable of resolving wave significant wave heights up to 10 m with a resolution of 0.01 m and 1% or greater accuracy.

The wave sensor shall be capable of resolving wave periods from 2 s to 30 s with 0.1 s resolution and 1% or greater accuracy.

PAGE 19 OF 20 1305M219QNFFK0050

The wave sensor shall be capable of resolving waves from any compass direction with 1 degree resolution and 5 degree or greater accuracy.

Space Requirements

The wave sensor must fit within a 16” by 14” by 10” steel enclosure. Additionally, the sensor must not occupy more than 1120 cubic inches of space within the enclosure.

Power Requirements

The wave sensor must operate on 12 V DC power (nominal 12 V, actual DC voltage ranges from 10 V to 14 V). The wave sensor must have a long-term power requirements of no more than 0.1 A @ 12 V. Power consumption will be used as an evaluation criteria for this award, lower power consumption is preferable.

Service Requirements

The wave sensor shall have a warranty period of not less than one year from the date of delivery of the sensor. The product will include product support for a period of not less than one year.
