AI Contract Overview

The Naval Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technology Division at Indian Head, Maryland, issued a sources sought announcement seeking information on commercially available, small two-person portable unmanned underwater vehicle systems or their subcomponents. These systems, which can be tethered or autonomous, are intended for operation under and around naval vessel hulls with a focus on localizing and rendering safe threat objects. The sought components include power, propulsion, sensors, navigation, control consoles, and render safe devices. This effort is part of a technical analysis aimed at identifying potential alternative technologies suitable for integration into a future system. Respondents are requested to submit performance details, brochures, specifications, and information on demonstrated or anticipated performance in diverse environments, along with estimated unit costs. The announcement emphasizes that this is not a solicitation or request for proposals, and no funding or authority to negotiate contracts is currently available. Only commercially available or near-commercial systems planned for availability around 2008/2009 are of interest, excluding design proposals requiring developmental funding. Responses are due by May 29, 2006, and participation will not affect eligibility for future solicitations. The government will not reimburse costs associated with submissions nor return any provided materials. Questions can be directed to the designated point of contact within the Naval Surface Warfare Center Indian Head Division under the Department of Defense.

Full Description

THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS. This is a sources sought announcement, and as such does not constitute a solicitation of proposal, and authority to enter into negotiations to award a contract for the contemplated effort has not been received and funds are not currently available. The Naval Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technology Division (NAVEODTECHDIV), Indian Head, Maryland is requesting information on commercially available small, two-man portable systems or subcomponents suitable for incorporation or integration onto a system. This system can be a tethered or autonomous unmanned underwater vehicle suitable for operation under and around the hulls of naval vessels. The components include but are not limited to power, propulsion, sensors, navigation, control consoles, and render safe devices. This is part of a technical analysis. The purpose of this analysis is to identify alternative technologies that may be suitable for an eventual system that will localize ! and render safe threat objects located on or around a ship hull. Performance description information is sought in the form of brochures, specification sheets, and company points of contact. Any information available on demonstrated or expected performance in varied environments (e.g., low visibility, light, dark, currents, etc.) and estimated unit cost is also desired. Also of interest are systems and subcomponents currently in advanced development stages which are planned to become commercially available in the 2008/2009 timeframe. Please note the expected availability date on these submissions. Design proposals requiring developmental funding are not of interest at this time. Deadline for submission is 29 May 2006. Questions regarding this solicitation may be directed to the above POC. Failure to participate in this sources sought will not preclude offerors from participating in any follow-on Request for Proposal. The Government will not pay for any effort expend! ed or any material provided in response to this announcement nor will the Government return any data provided.
