AI Contract Overview

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) is seeking engineering support for the design, development, testing, and validation of the High Gain Measurement System (HGMS) used in radiated noise measurements on full-scale submarines. This support will focus on the integration, test, and validation of the HGMS at the South East Alaska Acoustic Measurement Facility (SEAFAC). The contract is intended to be awarded under FAR Part 13 procedures through other than full and open competition, citing the unique qualifications of Applied Hydro Acoustics Research Inc. (AHARI). AHARI brings over 20 years of specialized experience with NSWCCD ranges, including significant past work in range validation and certification efforts, such as those conducted at SEAFAC and other measurement facilities, making them uniquely capable of supporting this task. The purchase order will be negotiated under the authority allowing sole source acquisitions when only one responsible source exists with unique capabilities, specifically under 41 U.S.C. 2152 (c)(1). While this is not a formal request for quotation, other interested firms may submit their technical qualifications within 15 days of the notice publication. The support provided by AHARI will leverage their deep knowledge of measurement systems, calibration equipment, and expertise necessary to ensure the accuracy of submarine vulnerability assessments based on precise noise measurement data. This contract reflects the Department of Defense's reliance on proven expertise for critical naval acoustic measurement activities essential to submarine stealth and vulnerability evaluation.

Full Description

Carderock Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWCCD) has the responsibility for design, development, test, and validation of all measurement arrays and processing systems for accomplishing radiated noise measurements on full-scale submarines. NSWCCD has the need for engineering support in this area and intends to issue under FAR Part 13 procedures, a purchase order through other than full and open competition under the authority of FAR 6.301-2, to Applied Hydro Acoustics Research Inc (AHARI) to provide as the main objective of this task, support for NSWCCD efforts to test and validate the new High Gain Measurement System (HGMS) at the South East Alaska Acoustic Measurement Facility (SEAFAC). To perform this support, the contractor shall perform planning and coordination of the integration, test, and validation phases of the HGMS development. Applied Hydro Acoustics Researc h, Inc., is uniquely qualified to support range validation at SEAFAC from over 20 years experience in supporting range validation efforts at NSWCCD measurement ranges, including SEAFAC in Alaska. AHARI has participated in numerous range validation investigations, including certification of the AMFIP High Gain Arrays (HGA) off of USNS HAYES in the Bahamas (1996), validation of the SEAFAC RESAS arrays (1994) the initial LSV range certification on alpha array (1987), complete range certification (1988 - 1990), range measurement error investigations (1993 and 1997), and a range accuracy test (1999 and 2000). AHARI personnel possess an intimate familiarity with the measurement systems and calibration equipment used at NSWCD range measurement facilities and the level of experience required to quantify system measurement accuracy within error bounds required to support US NAVY submar ine vulnerability assessments. This purchase shall be negotiated in accordance with the authority of 41 U.S.C. 2152 (c)(1) - Only one responsible source with unique capabilities. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST QUOTATION. Any interested firms may submit their technical capabilities via email to the above POC within 15 days after the publication of this notice. POC Email: contact@example.gov
