Marine Environmental Sensor Supply

The contract encompasses the supply of marine-grade environmental sensors designed for integration into drifting buoys, specifically including CTD instruments for measuring conductivity, temperature, and depth, GPS units for precise positioning, anemometers for wind speed and direction, and wave height sensors for ocean surface dynamics. These sensors must meet rigorous marine environmental standards to ensure long-term reliability in harsh oceanic conditions and seamless compatibility with existing buoy platforms. The equipment will support oceanographic data collection efforts critical for environmental monitoring and defense-related maritime operations. Issued under the NAICS code 334511 for electronic instrument manufacturing, this is a subcontract opportunity posted by the Navy Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk under the Department of Defense. Responses are due by May 27, 2026, at 3:00 PM, with no set-aside provisions specified, indicating open competition among qualified vendors. The sensors must be delivered and integrated to exact technical specifications without detailed place of performance information provided, suggesting deployment may occur across global maritime zones. All parties must ensure compliance with defense-grade quality assurance and traceability requirements for instrumentation used in operational environments.
