DIGITAL MAGNETIC RANGE SENSOR NODE

W8482-133614/A

The Department of National Defence has a requirement for the
following item to be delivered to HMC Dockyard, Halifax, Nova
Scotia as follows:.

The requirement is for 17 Digital Magnetic Range Sensor Nodes to
support the reconstruction of the Halifax degaussing range at
Ferguson's Cove. The Sensor Nodes contain built in calibration
and alignment sub systems which work in conjunction with fiber
optic carrying cables, allowing it to communicate with the shore
station.

Suppliers who consider themselves fully qualified and available
to meet the specified requirements may submit a statement of
capabilities in writing to the contact person identified in this
Notice on or before the closing date of this Notice. The
statement of capabilities must clearly demonstrate how the
supplier meets the advertised requirements.

Line1, 

DIGITAL MAGNETIC RANGE SENSOR NODE
NSN: P6625-20-A0G3840
TOTAL QUANTITY:17
P/N: 2389-001-NM
NSCM: 3AH44 (Omnitech Electronics Inc, Dartmouth, NS)

Pressure Vessel rated to 100m depth
Cylindrical, 100mm dia x 400mm in length 
Weight: 5kg
Material: Acetal (Delrin), with 13mm wall thickness
Power input: +15 to 18v, -15 to +18v DC
Pressure vessel contains one analog magnetic sensor and one
digital CCA
Analog magnetic sensor unit is NSN 6625-99-860-0427
Digital CCA is power supply for analog magnetometer, has 3-axis
test coils for magnetometer BITE, has 3-axis MEMS accelerometer
for attitude correction, accomplishes a/d conversion and
digitization of magnetometer data and is the central processor
for the entire Sensor Node.










SPECIFICATION REQUIREMENTS

The Vendor shall provide full warranty coverage for the Sensor
Nodes for a minimum of 3 years after installation in DND's
submarine ranges. During this warranty period the Vendor shall
replace, at their own expense, any Sensor Nodes which are no
longer serviceable, including those which have been destroyed
through water ingress resulting from anything other than
excessive wear and tear such as anchor strikes. 

The Pressure Vessel which contains all analogue and digital
electrical subassemblies shall be rated to at least 100m depth.
This shall be demonstrated through testing, FEA, or
Qualification by Similarity.

The Pressure Vessel shall be designed for optimal lifespan in a
marine, salt-water environment.

The Sensor Nodes shall have Magnetic Field measurement range of
+/- 100 mT.

The Sensor Nodes shall have Linearity error <0.0015%.

The Sensor Node Frequency response over 0 to 1kHz shall be
maximally flat, ±5% maximum at 1 kHz.

Scaling error shall be (DC) <±0.5%.

Sensor Bandwidth shall be 0 to 3 kHz at 50µT.

Orthogonality error shall be <0.1°.

Alignment error of the Sensor axes to the sensor reference faces
shall be <0.1° 

The Sensor Nodes shall have an internal, solid state spatial
orientation device such as a MEMS accelerometer-based system,
which shall provide sensor orientation in the 3 axes to within
1° accuracy. 

Internal noise shall be Between 6 -10pTrms/vHz at 1Hz.

The Sensor Nodes shall provide full capability over the
temperature range of -40°C to +70°C.

The Sensor Nodes shall provide environmental protection in
accordance with IP51.

The Sensor Nodes shall be fitted with 3-Axis Built-in test coils
for generating magnetic fields in order to self test each node.

The Sensor Nodes shall be fitted with a temperature sensor. 

The Sensor Nodes shall accomplish A/D Conversion of raw magnetic
field sensor data, and digitization of all internal Sensor data
including signature measurements from units under test, BITE,
Node temperature, sensor alignment, and status. The Sensor Nodes
shall communicate with a shore station up to 3 miles away,
through copper and fiber-optic signal electrical cabling.

APPLICATION TRADE AGREEMENT AND OBLIGATIONS

It is subject to the Agreement on the North American Free Trade
Agreement (NAFTA), World Trade Agreement on Government
Procurement (WTO-AGP) and Agreement  Internal Trade (AIT). 

GOVERNMENT CONTRACT REGULATIONS(GCR) EXCEPTION AND LIMITED
TENDERING REASON

Government Contracts Regulations (GCR) Exception (SM 5.002 (d)),
only one supplier (person or firm) is capable of performing the
contract and;

Limited Tendering (SM 5.031 (b)), where there is absence of
competition for compatibility reasons, the goods or services can
be supplied only by a particular supplier and no reasonable
alternative or substitutes exists.

procurement.  Documents may be submitted in either official
language of Canada.
Delivery Date: Above-mentioned

You are hereby notified that the government intends to negotiate
with one firm only as identified above. Should you have any
questions concerning this requirement, contact the contracting
officer identified above.

An Advance Contract Award Notice (ACAN) allows departments and
agencies to post a notice, for no less than fifteen (15)
calendar days, indicating to the supplier community that it
intends to award a good, service or construction contract to a
pre-identified contractor. If no other supplier submits, on or
before the closing date, a Statement of Capabilities that meets
the requirements set out in the ACAN, the contracting authority
may then proceed with the award.  However, should a Statement of
Capabilities be found to meet the requirements set out in the
ACAN, then the contracting authority will proceed to a full
tendering process.

Suppliers who consider themselves fully qualified and available
to provide the services/goods described herein, may submit a
statement of capabilities in writing to the contact person
identified in this Notice on or before the closing date of this
Notice. The statement of capabilities must clearly demonstrate
how the supplier meets the advertised requirements.

The PWGSC file number, the contracting officer's name and the
closing date of the ACAN must appear on the outside of the
envelope in block letters or, in the case of a facsimile
transmission, on the covering page.
