The property or services needed by the agency are available from only one responsible source and no other type of property or services will satisfy the needs of the agency.

The DEWESoft suite of DAQ equipment and software is nearly an all in one ecosystem for the testing in Survivability (all but vibration testing which requires equipment and software from the manufacturer to operate the tables and is already in place).  Our QRTC (Quick Reaction Test Capability) submission goes into great detail the scope of this project and I can provide if we haven’t already.  We’re going to replace our legacy DAQ equipment from the 1980’s through early 2000’s with modernized equipment that can also be calibrated on site. The software is free to download and use, but to unlock the specific features needed for our testing, a license is needed.

The DEWESoft suite of test equipment is the only COTS ready to use solution to modernize Survivability Environmental Qualification Testing (EQT) while retaining the ability to use existing test sensors and data processing software.  DEWESoft equipment also allows the integration of high-speed video with test data as well as a system to allow on-site calibration.

Survivability EQT data collection relies on a variety of sensors: accelerometers, microphones, thermocouples, and strain gauges.  Some sensors (i.e. the Endevco 2262B accelerometer used in noise testing) are the only sensor with the specifications available for testing performed in Survivability.  DEWESoft data acquisition equipment is capable of using all Survivability EQT sensors currently used for testing, eliminating the need for new proprietary sensors.  New sensors would also need Metrology Calibration (METCAL) lab approval and new calibration procedures.

For the past 21 years at NUWCDIVNPT, digital collection of shock data has been in TAFFmat (TEAC Data Acquisition File Format) files.  These TAFFmat files are used in previously developed Survivability Test Laboratory custom LabVIEW software to display and process TAFFmat files.  NUWC must maintain the capability of collecting shock data in the TAFFmat file format to avoid costly redevelopment of software, SOP redevelopment and retraining of laboratory engineers.  DEWESoft data acquisition equipment is able to save and export shock data in TAFFmat allowing full compatibility with existing software and processes.

DEWESoft LLC is the only Manufacturer/Vendor that can fulfill this type of procurement in a quality, application, cost effective, and timely matter. Otherwise facing substantial duplication of cost to the NAVY which is not expected to be recovered through competition; or unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency's needs.

Offerors shall include price, shipping costs, and the following additional information with the submissions: point of contact (including phone number and email address), Offeror CAGE, Offeror DUNS number, and shall include a validity date of no less than 60 days from due date for receipt of offers.   In accordance with DFARS Clause 252.211-7003, the contractor shall provide a unique item identifier (UID) for all delivered items for which the Government’s unit acquisition cost is $5,000.00 or more. 

The quote may be submitted via email to the email address below and must be received on or before 18 November 2024, 11:00AM EST. Offer received after the closing date are considered to be late and will not be considered for award.
