Hydro-Active Levelwind System Supply

The University of Southern Mississippi is seeking a subcontractor to supply a hydro-active levelwind system designed to ensure precise and even spooling of cable on a winch drum during ROV deployment and retrieval operations. The system must dynamically regulate cable tension and alignment using hydro-active technology to prevent overlapping, tangling, or uneven winding, which is critical for operational safety and equipment longevity in deepwater environments. The contract is categorized under NAICS code 333999 and is open for submissions with a response deadline of July 17, 2026, following a posting date of July 2, 2026. The place of performance and specific delivery details are not explicitly defined, but the system must be compatible with existing marine winch systems used for ROV operations. Interested parties are directed to the official bid portal for submission guidelines and further procedural requirements.
