Non-Lethal UUV Neutralization Technology Supply

The contract seeks the supply of non-lethal defeat mechanisms designed to neutralize unmanned underwater vehicles in sensitive maritime environments without resorting to explosive or destructive methods. Technologies under consideration include acoustic jamming, electromagnetic disruption, and tether entanglement systems, all aimed at effectively disabling UUVs through non-detonative means to preserve the integrity of critical underwater infrastructure and operational zones. The solicitation is structured as a subcontract with a NAICS code of 334511, indicating a focus on navigation, measuring, electromedical, and control instruments manufacturing, and the performance location is specified as New London, reflecting the strategic importance of the region for maritime security and defense activities. The opportunity was posted on July 24, 2026, and responses are due by August 7, 2026, providing a narrow window for qualified vendors to submit proposals. The contracting entity is the Department of Homeland Security under the Hq Contract Operations (CG-912)(000 office, underscoring the national security implications of the project. While no set-aside designation or point of contact details are provided, the emphasis on non-lethal capabilities suggests a high priority on minimizing environmental impact and avoiding escalation in contested or protected waters. Bidders must demonstrate technical expertise in counter-UUV systems, compliance with defense procurement standards, and the ability to deliver tested, reliable technologies that meet operational requirements in complex maritime conditions.
