- Description
- DESC: The National Weather Service has a requirement to acquire a Cellwatch system expansion to monitor batteries in multiple Uninterrupted Power Source (UPS) at Central Region Headquarters (CRH), Aviation Weather Center (AWC), and National Weather Service Training Center (NWSTC). The salient characteristics consist of Cellwatch parts as follows- Control Unit part #721004 Data collection module part #721001 Current Transducer part #501001 Temperature transducer part #501002 Fiber (60ft) part # 116002 Fiber boots part #108002 485 Communications cable part #116003 Currently the National Weather Service Central Region Headquarters has Cellwatch battery monitoring equipment. The Cellwatch parts requested in the requisition is for an expansion of the current Cellwatch system. Continuing with Cellwatch is the most cost effective method. To add a different monitoring system would require a complete install and replacement of all. CR currently has 42 units in use at this time and all would have to be changed out to keep monitoring continuity as other systems are not compatible with each other. Estimation would be over $1M to switch brands. Cellwatch has already been approved and configured with IT to operate the NWS networks. This is a small business set-aside. The NAICS code for this action is 423430. Size standard not to exceed 100 Employees.
