AI Contract Overview
The NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk intends to award a sole source, firm-fixed-price contract to Pacific Gyre for the procurement of 55 Surface Velocity Profile Drifter System Ice Tracker buoys. This acquisition supports the U.S. Interagency Arctic Buoy Program and consists of 40 air-deployed units and 15 surface-deployed units. These rugged systems are designed to withstand harsh sea ice conditions and annual freeze-thaw cycles in the Arctic and Southern Oceans to provide critical current tracking and ice drift predictions. Key technical specifications include a 15-meter depth holey sock drogue system, GPS positioning with satellite telemetry, sea surface temperature monitoring, and a battery pack supporting a one to two year operational timeline. The required period of performance is 90 calendar days after the contract award, with delivery and inspection occurring at the Fleet Weather Center Norfolk in Virginia. The contractor is responsible for shipping via FOB Contractor Destination and must utilize specialized crates to prevent damage during transport. All items must comply with MIL-STD-130 and ISO/IEC 16022 for unique item identification. Because this is a sole source award under FAR 12.102(a), the government will evaluate the award based solely on total price reasonableness. Invoicing and payment will be processed electronically through the Wide Area WorkFlow system.
