Notice of Intent To Award Sole Source WHOI REMUS Support

Solicitation # N6660427RB700

The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Newport intends to award a sole-source, indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. This agreement utilizes Cost Plus Fixed Fee and Cost Only structures to provide research, development, engineering, and technical services for the Navy Remote Environmental Measuring Units autonomous undersea vehicle systems and advanced undersea communication subsystems. The scope of work involves the evaluation, modernization, and deployment of system hardware, firmware, and software across various submarine and surface ship classes, with an estimated requirement of 113,000 man-hours over a five-year ordering period. The decision to utilize a sole-source award is based on the fact that the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution is the original developer and proprietor of the core technologies and proprietary source code for the REMUS 600 and 3000 platforms. This includes specialized NSA-approved encryption software essential for maintaining Navy Authority to Operate compliance. The government has determined that awarding this contract to another entity would be technically infeasible and cost-prohibitive, potentially causing a mission gap of three to five years due to the need for redesign and recertification.
