STATEMENT OF NEED FOR SUPPLY

PURPOSE:

The Antarctic Ecosystem Research Division (AERD) uses underwater gliders to collect data for management of the Antarctic krill fishery. AERD currently has a fleet of 14 gliders and needs space to store the gliders inside. There is no commercial rack that is designed to hold Teledyne Slocum G3 extended bay gliders. AERD requires a rack that can hold four Slocum G3 underwater gliders on their carts.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:

AERD would like a storage rack for Slocum G3 gliders to be build. This storage rack will be able to stand by itself with 3 gliders on their glider carts on pull out racks/shelves and a glider on a glider cart will rest under the 3 racks/shelves. Each glider weighs about 200 lbs. Each of the racks/shelves will be able to pull out on a stainless steel drawer slide. There will be a beam on top of the storage rack that can hold a trolley lift (AERD will supply). The height of a glider on a cart to the top of the fin is 23 inches tall. The measurement from the front of a glider cart to the handle is 94 inches. The width is 14.25 inches. The glider should not roll off the rack/shelf. The rack will be at least 94 inches long, at least 14.25 inches deep and no more than 8.5 feet tall.

Vendor will provide concept sketches for the government to review for feedback and approval.

The government will provide comment/approval within three days of submission. Once approved, contractor may proceed with fabrication.

DELIVERABLE SCHEDULE:

Date of delivery: 60 Days After Receipt of Order.
