Contract W913E520P0015 is a Firm Fixed Price sole source award issued by the Department of Defense Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory to OptaSense, Inc. for the procurement of proprietary Proteus 1 fiber optic cable and termination units. This acquisition is necessary to support ongoing specialized geophysical testing with the ODH-4 system, as OptaSense is the only provider of cable and connectors interoperable with the existing equipment. The procurement ensures that sufficient materials are available for critical testing events scheduled for Spring and Summer 2020, addressing the high rate of cable degradation during deployment and recovery across various geologies and climates. The initial award includes the delivery of 2km of fiber optic cable and termination units, with line items valued at 18,000 dollars and 2,600 dollars respectively. To accommodate an evolving testing schedule, the contract includes multiple options for additional 5km cable increments, each valued at 45,000 dollars. The contract was finalized on February 24, 2020, with performance centered in Hanover, New Hampshire, under NAICS code 334519.

Full Description

Show more
This action was awarded sole source via FFP contract based on the following rationale: OptaSense, Inc. has been identified as the only company who can meet the required specifications due to the requirement to purchase proprietary supplies that will work with a proprietary system currently in use under testing at CRREL. CRREL has been conducting specialized geophysical testing with the ODH-4 since June 2019 under contract W913E5-19-P-0027. The sensor was needed for a series of several testing events across the United States over many months (testing different geologies, climates, and targets). Since the exact testing schedule was not fully known (results of one test informed where/when to conduct the next test), the original contract included several options to extend the lease and buy additional cable supplies. Due to its extremely specialized nature, the cable is very fragile and tends to become destroyed during deployment and recovery, thus additional cable is needed for continued testing. Attempts are made to salvage what can be saved after each deployment. However, CRREL needs to complete two upcoming tests in Spring 2020 and Summer 2020 and lacks sufficient lengths of the necessary OptaSense proprietary Proteus 1 fiber optic cable to complete these tests. OptaSense, Inc. is the sole authorized provider of its proprietary Proteus 1 Fiber Optic Cable. OptaSense, Inc. produces the only fiber optic cable and connectors that are interoperable with CRREL's existing ODH-4 systems.
