Salient Characteristics
Introduction
The US Geological Survey (USGS), Lower Mississippi-Gulf Water Science Center (LMGWSC), has a requirement for satellite communication services for 125 new GPS Satellite Tracking units or equal to, with additional units necessary to be purchased in the future as personnel or communication needs change. This is a bulk purchase of new units, with new service on these units occurring on a continuing annual basis until a change is deemed necessary. The required services are needed to maintain the continuity of the satellite tracking and communication system for the safety of field personnel in the USGS, LMGWSC.
GPS satellite communication devices and services or equal to that ensures the safety of personnel in the field by providing a mechanism to secure assistance in an emergency and notify management of emergency situations using satellite systems. Real-time mapping and personnel location services will be provided through the contractors proprietary mapping website, and additionally through the USGS National Water Dashboard – internal website.
Salient Characteristics or an equal to
Provide Globalstar SPOT X Bluetooth 2-Way Messenger 1850-0390-11 Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite communication services, and tracking services or equal to.
Number of GPS Satellite Devices: 125 Globalstar SPOT X Basic Annual SPOT X US BASIC Annual Software or equal to and activation fees for 125 Units
PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE: Period of Performance is one year for software and maintenance.
1. Shall provide annual subscription services for new activated devices.
2. Shall provide annual network maintenance services to keep devices active and operational.
3. Shall provide annual subscription services for current activated devices if applicable.
4. Shall provide annual network maintenance services for new and current activated devices if applicable.
