EDGETECH 4125i TELEMETRY SIDE SCAN SYSTEM AND AN EDGETECH 3400 POLE MOUNT SUB-BOTTOM PROFILER SYSTEM.The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Office of Coast Survey, through its Center of Excellence for Operational Ocean and Great Lakes Mapping, plans to award a sole-source purchase order to Edgetech of Wareham, Massachusetts, for an Edgetech 4125I Telemetry Side Scan Sonar System and an Edgetech 3400 Pole Mount Sub-Bottom Profiler System. This procurement is authorized under FAR 6.103-1 due to Edgetech’s status as the exclusive manufacturer of both systems, its small business status, and its established partnership with NOAA for hydrographer training in collaboration with the University of New Hampshire. The agency requires these specific systems because no other commercially available equipment meets the critical operational and educational standards needed for training NOAA’s hydrographic workforce. The Edgetech 4125I is the only portable side scan sonar under 50 pounds that delivers industry-standard imaging while enabling rapid, single-operator deployment from small vessels, a necessity for the Center of Excellence’s training curriculum. The Edgetech 3400 sub-bottom profiler is uniquely suited for teaching sediment classification and sub-surface geological survey techniques due to its standard chirp architecture, which mirrors real-world field systems and provides accurate analytic signal data essential for curriculum integrity. Alternative products, including those from Innomar, Tritech, and Klein, have been systematically evaluated and rejected based on technical, regulatory, and logistical deficiencies. Innomar’s system is not manufactured in the U.S., violating Buy American Act requirements, and uses a parametric architecture that is too complex for trainees. Tritech’s Starfish series fails to meet NOAA’s hydrographic survey specifications for beamwidth, and Klein’s 5900 system exceeds weight and deployment constraints for small vessel operations. The Edgetech systems are already the industry baseline used by NOAA fleet personnel and global marine researchers, ensuring continuity between training and operational fieldwork. Procuring these systems is essential not only for advancing subsurface mapping capabilities in support of critical mineral exploration and environmental investigations but also for maintaining standardized workflows and software compatibility across NOAA’s training infrastructure. The equipment will serve dual roles: providing dedicated, uninterrupted access for academic instruction and supporting rapid-response charting missions. Delivery is expected within 60 to 90 days of award, and the NAICS code for this acquisition is 334511 with no set-aside applied.
