Description

The US Department of Commerce (DOC), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Eastern Region Acquisition Division, Simplified Acquisition Branch intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Warehouse Battery Outlet, Inc., using the procedures in FAR Part 13, to purchase 70 ATON battery packs P/N: 26-MN1300D and 20 iATON V-2 battery packs P/N: 26-36MN1300WODCEL.



Supporting rationale.

The ATON, iATON, and iATON V-2 are real-time ocean current measurement systems that affix to U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) aids-to-navigation (ATON) buoys. These systems employ an

acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) sensor to measure ocean currents. Motivation for the

ATON and iATON designs and development came from the need to fulfill Physical Oceanographic Real-Time Systems (PORTS®) users- requests for real-time vertical current

profile information in or near shipping channels. The ATON version of this system uses a radio to communicate with a shore station that transmits the data back to CO-OPS through GOES. The

iATON and iATON V-2 versions of the system utilizes iridium short burst data modems to transmit data directly to CO-OPS. The 26-MN1300D battery pack made by Battery Warehouse Outlet has been the standard battery pack used by CO-OPS for the ATON and iATON systems for over 15 years. The 26-36MN1300WODCEL battery pack is the standard battery pack used by CO-OPS for the latest version of the system the iATON V-2. Since the systems are installed USCG ATON buoys there is a requirement for the system to have a low profile that does not visually alter the shape of the buoy. As a result, there is limited space available and the battery compartments of 2 the systems are designed to accommodate these battery packs. These battery packs were tested by CO-OPS to ensure that they would be able to power the systems through a full deployment and would not be adversely affected by the harsh environmental conditions they are exposed ...
