AI Contract Overview

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) plans to award a firm-fixed-price contract on a sole-source basis to Verus Associates Inc. for servicing the machinery controls system aboard the ship Henry Bigelow. This decision is based on the contractor’s recent involvement in performing the annual Periodic Safety Test Procedure (PSTP) during the ABS survey and their detailed knowledge of the system’s current status and configuration. The work entails addressing deficiencies identified during the survey and completing tasks outlined in a worklist generated from the PSTP report. The Government emphasizes the urgency of this requirement, with a performance deadline of June 6, 2026, to avoid further system degradation or operational failure, which precludes a full and open competitive process. Verus Associates Inc is uniquely qualified for this contract due to their prior service on the system, enabling continuity that supports warranty work and cost savings for the Government. Their familiarity ensures compatibility with existing systems and minimizes technical risk while meeting the tight schedule. Although this is a notice of intent to sole source, NOAA invites interested parties to submit capability statements by May 29, 2026, for evaluation purposes in case a competitive procurement is considered in the future. These statements should demonstrate relevant experience, ability to meet the timeline, and pricing information if available. The contract will be managed under the authority of FAR 12.102(a), with the work to be performed in Newport, Rhode Island.
