59 -- MIN/MAX TEMPERATURE ELECTRONIC UNIT SUBASSEMBLY SOL 51-DGNW-7-90071 DUE 073197 POC Eleanor E. Kaul, Contract Specialist, 301/713-0823 x142 and fax 301/713-0806 or Gregory N. Smith, Contracting Officer The National Weather Service (NWS) of the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has a requirement for the procurement of up to 1,400 minimum/maximum temperature system (MMTS) electronic unit subassemblies (EUS) to include manufacturing to Government supplied design specifications & testing of the units. The MMTS EUS will be a part of the MMTS, & shall collect, process, & display ambient temperature data, store the minimum/maximum temperature until reset, & display the minimum/maximum temperature upon query. The MMTS EUS shall operate on commercial power 117 volts AC, +10%-15% at 60 Hertz (+- 5 Hertz). The MMTS EUS shall be encased in a plastic enclosure & shall incorporate a LED display that is readable from greater than three (3) feet. The unit shall display in degree Fahrenheit. All artwork, parts lists, & schematics necessary to reproduce all printed circuit boards will be provided by the NWS. The MMTS & its various functions are controlled by software contained in Read Only Memory (ROM) that are part of the 8048 microcircuit installed in the electronic unit. The microcircuit with the masked ROM control program will be provided by the NWS to the contractor for all preproduction & production units. Government acceptance of the MMTS electronic unit subassembly shall be contingent upon the unit successfully passing all tests associated with the Contractor's & the Government's Quality Assurance (Q/A) programs. The Q/A provisions follow a logical sequence providing thorough testing of preproduction units prior to production release followed by limited testing of production units to demonstrate compliant operation in the absence of infant-mortality. All responsible sources interested in this procurement can request a copy of this solicitation by sending a fax on company letterhead to the attention of Eleanor E. Kaul 301/713-0806.
