Procurement of Service Support of Rees Scientific Electronic Temperature Monitoring System in DLM

This is a Notice of Intent, not a request for proposal. The National Institute of Health intends to negotiate on an other than full and open competition basis with the following vendor: Rees Scientific USA.

Acquistion Description:

The system shall be specifically designed as an environmental monitoring system (EMS) capable of sensing

environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity, differential pressure, etc. in real time and monitoring and

alarming based on the real-time readings from its sensors.

The system shall be fully Windows® based taking advantage of Windows® superior event-driven programming,

Windows® menus, Windows® dialog boxes, Windows® multi-tasking etc. A “Windows® Like System” or

fully capable of functioning properly on Windows® Server 2012/R2® or 2016. Server products. It shall be possible to

run different Workstations on different Windows® platforms simultaneously so that different people in DLM can use

the system on the PC that is already in their workstation.

The system must be capable of monitoring up to 128 wireless or hardwired sensors per node and “must” be capable of

handling both wireless, Wi-Fi, and hardwired sensors (hybrid) in any number combination on a single system. Inputs

shall be universal - capable of any type of analog or switch sensor monitoring including but not limited to, temperature,

differential pressure, pH, salinity, humidity, flow rate, flood, power failure, security breach, fluid level, etc.

Access to the system shall be controlled by user name and password. There shall be 8 levels of access permissions

including permission to:

a. Enable alarms

b. Inhibit single alarms for a short time only.

c. Inhibit single alarms for unlimited time.

d. Inhibit multiple alarms.

e. Program the Access Control System

f. Program the Environmental System Inputs

g. Program Environmental System Outputs

h. Modify user names and passwords.
