AI Contract Overview

The Hull Systems Automation Group of the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division, requires one VideoRay Pro3 GTO Remotely Operated Video Submersible and two controller boxes to support underwater ship hull inspections. This procurement will be awarded through a non-competitive, firm-fixed price purchase order to Video Ray in Phoenixville, PA, following Simplified Acquisition Procedures. The VideoRay ROV is already used by the Navy, and compatibility with existing systems is essential to avoid significant additional costs in training, spare parts, and support equipment, as well as to prevent schedule delays. Although the procurement is planned to be non-competitive, responses from other responsible sources will be considered before making a final decision. The contract is classified under NAICS code 333315 and is managed by the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Bethesda, MD. This requirement includes spares and a complete second ROV system to ensure adequate support for ongoing operations. The dissolution of the small business set-aside means that the solicitation is open beyond small businesses, but the government retains full discretion on whether to compete the contract based on market feedback. Interested parties were invited to submit capability statements by July 9, 2010, to inform the decision-making process regarding potential competition for this requirement.

Full Description

The Hull Systems Automation Group (Code 6160), of the Carderock Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWCCD) has a requirement for (1) VideoRay Pro3 GTO Remotely Operated Video (ROV) Submersible only and two controller boxes. In support of this effort, NSWCCD intends to negotiate a non-competitive procurement using Simplified Acquisition Procedures and award a firm-fixed price purchase order to Video Ray 580 Wall Street, Phoenixville, PA 19460-0000. The small business set-aside has been dis-solved. The VideoRay ROV has been used by NSWCCD for the purposes of performing underwater ship hull inspections. Code 616 has a requirement for spares and a complete second system to provide required support to the program. The new ROV system must be compatible with the current system because of the Navy's investment in training, spare parts and interchangeable support equipment. The VideoRay ROV is compatible with existing Navy systems and switching to another ROV manufacturer would result in substantial duplication of cost to the government that is not expected to be recovered through competition, and unacceptable schedule delays in fulfilling the agencies requirement. All responsible sources submitting offers will be considered. A determination by the Government not to compete with this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Interested parties may forward their capabilities statements to the Government POC on or before 5 p.m on 7/9/2010, referencing RFQ N00167-10-T-0099.
