Additional Considerations:

Shipping

Schedule Delivery dates to be confirmed

Delivery schedule will be agreed upon prior to October 1, 2024

Items should be delivered according to the schedule provided in the need by date in tables 1 and 2.

Specifications JSATS model SS400 ‘injectable’ Must meet requirements ensuring that the vendor is capable of producing transmitters to the specifications and of sufficient quality, functionality, and reliability.

Must be able to deliver tag order 10 weeks after award of contract

Transmitters must be manufactured in the USA.

Transmitter must have capability to be user configurable in the field using a portable laptop PC connected to a vendor supplied tag controller/activator. Re-programming parameters must include: Tag code value (4-digit hexadecimal number) and PRI (Pulse Rate Interval) between 2 and 60 seconds.

The following values must be able to be displayed and verified (but not necessarily changed) in the field using the vendor supplied portable tag controller/activator in stand-alone configuration:

(1) Tag code value (4 digit hexadecimal number), (2) CRC value (cyclic redundancy check), (3) PRI Measured (pulse rate interval, in seconds with 1000th of a second precision) and (4) Estimated tag frequency (in kHz).

Tag shall be activated (started) by using an Advanced Telemetry System’s Pinger Dish, if tags cannot be started with the ATS Pinger dish, then three (3) tag activators that will work must be added to the quote. Tag activators must have a serial or USB connection to a PC, so that data from tags can be recorded to a file on the PC.

The tag’s PRI may be changed by user at time of activation and the warranty life of that tag will be based on the warranty life for PRI stated in proposal.

Warranty tag life shall be 50% of advertised expected life for the set PRI.

Tags started 1 to 180 days after delivery date shall be expected to run for at least 100% of stated warranty life.

Tags started 180 to 365 days after delivery date shall be expected to run for at least 90% of stated warranty life.

Tags started more than 365 days after delivery date shall be expected to run for at least 75% of stated warranty life.

Warranty tag life for each of these pulse rate intervals; 3, 4.2, 5, 7, 10, and 60 seconds, shall be stated in quote.

5% of transmitters for total order will be randomly selected and monitored to determine actual run time. Tags that do not run past warranty life will be considered as failed. If percent failed is greater than 6% of tags from the 5% subsample then % failed shall be scaled up to total number of tags purchased and warranty claim shall be based on this number.

Vendor shall provide an MS Excel format electronic file of specifications for each tag including hexadecimal ID, nominal PRI, measured tag weight in air, tag dimensions (length, width, and height), power output, warranty life at 5 seconds PRI, and manufacture date when filling/shipping orders.
