C. Statement of Work

C.1 BACKGROUND

This requirement is for the manufacture of autonomous CO2 systems and refurbishment of existing systems to meet the specifications needed for the ocean CO2 monitoring network. These systems are part of an ongoing network of autonomous systems. These systems have to be swapped out once per year to maintain a continuous measurement record; therefore, new systems must have the same dimensions and design specifications to work in the platforms already deployed in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. This requirement is necessary to meet OAR’s spell out acronyms the first time. strategic goals of coastal and open ocean observations and modeling to improve our understanding of the physical and geochemical processes operating in the world oceans, to define the forcing functions and the processes driving ocean circulation and the global climate system, and to improve environmental forecasting capabilities and other supporting services for marine commerce and fisheries. NOAA’s role as lead agency for ocean acidification monitoring is mandated by the Federal Ocean Acidification and Monitoring Act of 2009 (H.R. 14, to provide for ocean acidification research and monitoring). The first goal of the NOAA Ocean and Great Lakes Acidification Research Implementation Plan is to develop the monitoring capacity to quantify and track ocean acidification and its impacts in open-ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes ecosystems. Increasing the number of time series buoys with autonomous carbon dioxide sensors is a basic step required to realize this goal. Data will be collected daily via Iridium satellite and published to the web in real time (http://www.pmel.noaa.gov/co2/story/Buoys+and+Autonomous+Systems). At the end of the deployment, quality reviewed data will be published at CDIAC (the Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center, cdiac.ornl.gov)

C.2 SCOPE OF WORK

The contractor shall manufacture and furnish autonomous CO2 monitoring systems and refurbish…in accordance with the specifications set forth in this SOW. Sensors must be swapped out once per year for refreshment and post calibration (refurbishment). Therefore, the contractor shall provide annual refurbishment for each sensor at the contractor’s facility. In addition to refurbishing the CO2 systems currently in service, the contractor must be able to refurbish NOAA’s existing Battelle built CO2 systems to the specifications outlined in this document. PMEL currently owns approximately 27 systems and expects to have 14 to 27 of these systems refurbished annually.
