AI Contract Overview
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Marine Fisheries Service intends to award a sole-source contract to the University of Washington for the procurement of Seaglider SGX autonomous underwater vehicles, integrated conductivity, temperature, and depth sensors, and associated field support equipment. This action is justified under Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.103-1 and 41 USC 3304(a)(1) due to the unique compatibility and technical specifications of the Seaglider SGX platform, which is the only system capable of seamlessly integrating with the Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center’s existing infrastructure, piloting software, and proprietary passive acoustic payloads. The contract will include a base year and two one-year option periods, supporting the expansion of the Center’s fleet to advance fisheries and ecosystem monitoring across diverse oceanographic environments. All equipment must be technically identical to the current SGX fleet to ensure data continuity, operator proficiency, and seamless operational integration. Responses to this notice must be submitted in writing by June 19, 2026, no later than 2:30 P.M. Pacific Standard Time, to the designated Contract Specialist and Contracting Officer via email. Each response is required to include a detailed capabilities statement demonstrating the ability to deliver equipment that matches the existing Seaglider SGX fleet in every technical aspect, including sensor compatibility, software interfaces, and payload integration. Failure to provide sufficient evidence of this capability will result in the government proceeding without opening the requirement to competition. The solicitation number is REQUIREMENTS-25-3825, and the performance location is Honolulu, Hawaii. The National Institute of Standards and Technology NAICS code for this procurement is 334511, and no set-aside provisions apply.

Full Description
NOTICE OF INTENT TO NEGOTIATE A SOLE-SOURCE CONTRACT
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) hereby gives public notice of the intent to negotiate a sole-source contract pursuant to the authority of Federal Acquisition Requirements FAR 6.103-1, as the supplies required by the agency are available from only one responsible source and no other supplies will satisfy agency requirements. FAR 6.103-1 and 41 USC 3304(a)(1) establishes authority for the government to seek supplies from the University of Washington (UW) for the acquisition of Seaglider SGX autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV), sensors and supplies. The procurement period of performance includes one (1) Base Year and two (2) 1-year Option Periods.
Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC), Uncrewed Marine Systems Program, has a requirement to procure additional Seaglider SGX AUVs to expand the existing fleet and provide a versatile, multi-sensor platform for Center-wide research priorities. The AUVs must be compatible with existing PIFSC infrastructure, piloting software, and specialized payloads.
The Government intends to negotiate a contract with UW for non-personal supplies to provide the base vehicle AUVs, integrated conductivity, temperature, and depth (CTD) sensors, and necessary field support equipment, along with optional specialized oceanographic sensors (such as dissolved oxygen and fluorometry) to ensure the platforms can be adapted for a wide range of fisheries and ecosystem monitoring tasks.
Responses to this notice must be provided within fifteen (15) calendar days from the date of this notice. Vendors who believe they can meet this requirement are required to submit in writing an affirmative response demonstrating a comprehensive understanding of the requirement. All written responses must include a capabilities statement that determines the ability to provide equipment that is technically identical to the existing Seaglider SGX fleet currently operated by PIFSC. This ensures data continuity, enables the use of existing piloting expertise, and allows for the integration of proprietary passive acoustic payloads. The response must be sufficient to permit agency analysis to establish a bona fide capability to meet the requirement. Failure to submit such documentation will result in the Government proceeding as previously stated. A determination by the Government not to open the requirement to competition based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Affirmative written responses must be received no later than 2:30 P.M. Pacific Standard Time, June 19, 2026. The responses must be submitted via e-mail to Contract Specialist, Jamie Abu Shakrah, at Jamie.AbuShakrah@noaa.gov and Contracting Officer, Carina Topasna, at Carina.Topasna@noaa.gov.
