Purpose NOAA Ship Reuben Lasker requires a mission-critical spare suite of Kongsberg trawl sensors and associated deployment components for its installed Kongsberg trawl-monitoring system. The equipment will provide immediate onboard replacement capability when an operational sensor or deployment component fails. 2. Mission Need and Background Reuben Lasker conducts fisheries surveys that depend on real-time trawl information to confirm net condition and performance, support safe fishing, and collect consistent scientific data. The existing sensor suite is operational, but the ship lacks sufficient onboard replacements for the critical components listed below. A sensor failure at sea can interrupt sampling and place data quality and mission completion at risk. Compatible onboard spares allow immediate replacement, limit lost ship time, and avoid delays and added costs to transport specialized equipment during a survey. Brand-name compatibility: Kongsberg components are required because they are spares for an installed Kongsberg trawl-monitoring system. Replacements must communicate with the existing equipment and software and use established deployment, charging, maintenance, and troubleshooting processes. This is a compatibility requirement, not a brand preference. 3. Scope The contractor shall furnish and deliver new, unused, genuine Kongsberg OEM sensors, deployment components, and hardware in the quantities and part numbers specified in Section 4. No installation is required. Substitutions, refurbished items, or part-number changes are not authorized unless approved in writing by the Contracting Officer after NOAA technical review. 4. Required Supplies Line Part no.
