The U.S. Geological Survey, BRD, Columbia Environmental Research Center, requires a Dual Frequency Adaptive Resolution Imaging Sonar device. This device requires the following: 1) Operate at dual-frequencies greater than 1.0 and less than 2.0 MHz to produce acceptable, high quality images; 2) Produce near video quality images (up to 30 frames per second) in zero visibility and turbid environments; 3) Have an adjustable imaging range out to 30 m minimum; 4) Have the ability to focus sonar images throughout the imaging range; 5) Provide for image resolution sufficient to identify and measure fish or objects less than or equal to 5 cm at 10 m range; 6) Provide attachment brackets and a remotely-operated, underwater pan and tilt mechanism to mount the device and direct the imaging beam under high current conditions; 7) Provide for windows PC-based interface to allow operation of the device, and remote capture, storage, and analysis of video data; 8) Operate with low power consumption (15-20 w) for extended unattended, remote operation and operation in small watercraft. 9.) Operating system provides for autonomous, unattended operation and for the counting and measurement of fish size. Based on the information at this time, the government considers the product specified as a sole source from Ocean Marine Industries, Inc., Chesapeake, VA, and proposes to negotiate a contract with the firm on that basis. However, should additional sources be identified, they will be considered. Firms who feel that they can furnish the required product or its functional equivalent (based on the criteria specified herein) are invited to submit, in writing, an affirmative response to this announcement. An affirmative response would include literature, brochures and other such materials which correspond to the required services and supplies stated herein. This information will be evaluated and used to determine if competitive opportunities exist.
