Argo Free Drifting Profiling Floats

The Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) has a requirement to procure a number of Argo free drifting profiling floats.

Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) intends to put in place a three (3) year National Master Standing Offer (NMSO), to procure the required equipment.

The objective is to provide Argo profiling floats to support the Government of Canada contribution to the International Argo Program, which is a key element of the Global Ocean Observing System.

Background

The broad-scale global array of temperature/salinity profiling floats, known as Argo, is a major component of the ocean observing system. Argo is a standard to which other developing ocean observing systems can look to for ideas as it was designed from the outset to function as a global network. Argo exemplifies international collaboration, with more than 25 nations contributing floats and a data management system that delivers consistent quality controlled data streams to the global data center. The vendor shall supply Argo floats to Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) facilities in Dartmouth, NS and Sydney, BC.

Configurations
The list of the two (2) Configurations are:
Configuration 1: Float equipped with SBE CTD sensor to support the objectives of the Core Argo program.
Configuration 2: Float equipped with RBR CTD sensor to support the objectives of the Core Argo program.
