Seismic Sustainment Equipment

Added: Jul 23, 2016 1:08 pm THIS IS A SOLE SOURCE SYNOPSIS! The 45th Contracting Squadron has a sole source requirement for seismic analysis equipment. This is to include 3-Channel digitizer, Communication Interface Module Plus, CM3 and the ability to reproduce the manuals for the Digitizers, Communication Multiplexer, Station Processor, Authenticator, and the CIM3 Plus.

Salient Characteristics:

Digitizers and Firmware: 24-bit analog-to-digital converter, an 18-bit calibration channel, a temperature-compensated VCXO phase-locked to GPS time, an EIA-232 configuration port, 256 FLASH EPROM, 512 KB SRAM (up to 8 MB SRAM in the AIM24S-3 model), and a user-configurable sample rate from 4 samples per second to 2560 samples per second. High-speed EIA-232 or EIA-422 interface supporting synchronous or asynchronous ADCCP communications. Designed for very low noise performance at low frequencies, for application with broad-band seismometers and to provide up to three input channels. Enclosed in rugged containers for placement in 4-inch diameter boreholes.

The CIM 3: is the communications interface between the field station and the local command and control. Building on the success of the CIM 3, the next generation CIM 3 is more capable and flexible, with greatly improved size, power demands, and reliability. The CIM 3 provides multipoint and multidrop array control over standard radio modems, a more flexible TCP/IP connection that can be routed over longer distances, and a flexible network appliance using high-integration components with the power of the Linux Operating System. Important features of the CIM 3 include verification of remote commands, one diagnostic RS-232 port, and an Intel PXA (StrongArm) processor. The compact, multipurpose CIM 3 is the only COTS product that both satisfies current treaty monitoring requirements and provides a standard software development platform that will be able to easily satisfy future requirements.

This is a Sole Source with Science Horizons, Inc. IAW FAR 6.302-1. IAW FAR 5.207(c)(15) Science Horizons, Inc.is the only source capable of fulfilling the government's requirement Science Horizons, Inc. (SHI) is the sole manufacture and distributor of DH-3 Digitizers and CIM 3 Plus seismic equipment. SHI is the sole US developer of software and hardware to collect, monitor, and analyze field seismic data. In addition SHI is the only contractor capable of integrating data produced by US and foreign sensor used as part of the
International Monitoring System. The attached Sole Source Justification has been made available for review. No solicitation documents exist at this time. This item/service utilizes North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code of 334519.

IAW FAR 5.207(c)(16)(ii), all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency.

This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotes; however, the government will consider any responses from capable sources received within 10 days after date of publication of this synopsis. 45 CONS/LGCB has determined that Science Horizons, Inc. is the only source capable of providing this requirement. Phone calls will not be accepted.
