NAICS code you would be using, possibly 334419 STATEMENT OF NEED FOR SUPPLY MARKET RESEARCH REQUEST NFFP7100-18-02691srg PURPOSE: The Northwest Fisheries Science Center (NWFSC) is currently characterizing soundscapes (acoustic habitats), including ambient noise conditions, along with usage patterns within the geographic range of southern resident killer whales. A critical component of this assessment is to determine ambient sound levels and attributing these sound levels to natural and anthropogenic sources, especially shipping and boating traffic in areas that overlap with whale usage, which will also be documented through passive acoustic monitoring. We use acoustic recorders on moorings to collect data on soundscapes, ambient noise levels and killer whale occurrence. This approach has been widely used by other cetacean researchers, which will be important for comparison of the data we collect. The required acoustic recorders shall meet the following requirements: - factory calibrated with the ability to do periodic calibration checks, - include usable frequencies up to at least 60 kHz, - have low self/system noise to measure the quietest times (at least a sea state of 0 at lower frequencies), - be small and light with batteries included, - have additional sensors to measure temperature and indicate orientation, cable strumming or vibration - be able to provide at least 70 days of continuous recording. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS: 6 identical units required, each unit shall have the following specifications: - Recording Bandwidth: down to at least 20 Hz up to at least 60 kHz +/- 3 dB - Self Noise: better than sea state 0 up to 2 kHz and less than 35 dB re 1 ?Pa above 2 kHz - Gain Options to allow both low noise & high dynamic range - High Pass Filter at or below 500 Hz as an option - Analog to Digital Converter of at least 16 bit - Calibration: Factory calibration certificate and self-calibration check (internally or with pistonphone coupler) - Includes software for set up and data offloading that is user friendly - Ancillary sensors including temperature sensor and accelerometers - Battery and memory requirement: allows either continuous raw audio data or lossless audio compression for at least 70 days of continuous recording, either alone or with additional battery pack. - Depth Rating: up to 500m - Weight: less than 10 lbs/5 kg with batteries in air DELIVERABLE SCHEDULE: Must be shipped by 29 June 2018 - A production fee or mark up price of no more than 8% may be applied if production occurs before payment.
