N--Sole Source NOI: Water Quality Scanning -Ohmsett

Solicitation # DOIEFBO260010

The U.S. Department of the Interior, acting through the Office of Acquisition and Property Management on behalf of the Marine Minerals Administration, intends to award a sole source firm-fixed-price commercial contract to NIC Systems for the procurement, installation, and integration of a turnkey water quality monitoring system at the Ohmsett National Oil Spill Response Research & Renewable Energy Test Facility in Leonardo, New Jersey. The system will include industrial-grade analyzers for chlorine, pH, ORP, temperature, salinity/conductivity, turbidity, and dissolved oxygen, along with corrosion-resistant mechanical tapping and piping from the Filter Room Building to the monitoring panel, complete SCADA/HMI integration with protocol alignment, register mapping, scaling factors, and validated loop testing, as well as final deliverables such as as-built drawings, a comprehensive SCADA points list, operation and maintenance manuals, and commissioning documentation. The contract is being executed under the Revolutionary Federal Acquisition Regulation Overhaul Part 12.102(a), which implements 41 U.S.C. 1901 simplified acquisition procedures for commercial services at or below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, with an estimated performance period of 180 days after award. NIC Systems is the sole source identified due to its proven and validated experience integrating equipment into Ohmsett’s existing SCADA/HMI architecture, its deep understanding of operational data flows and safety interlocks, its ability to perform integration without disrupting ongoing facility operations, and its established compliance with Naval Weapons Station Earle’s strict security, access, and identity-verification protocols. Market research confirmed that no other vendor possesses the necessary expertise to meet all technical and security requirements. The government is providing an opportunity for other responsible sources to submit capability statements by August 17, 2026, demonstrating equivalent experience in industrial SCADA integration, mechanical piping for large-scale test facilities, and compliance with DOI and Navy security procedures, but award remains at the government’s discretion and is not guaranteed. All responses must include contractor details, technical capability statements addressing the specified requirements, past performance in industrial automation and water quality instrumentation, NAICS code 334513 classification, and point of contact information, submitted via email with the designated subject line. The contract will require compliance with rigorous security protocols, including advance approval, on-site badging, identity-proofing, background checks, escort rules, and adherence to incident-reporting protocols at the Naval Weapons Station Earle.
