Towed Fish Housing and Deployment Mechanism

The contract calls for the design and fabrication of a hydrodynamically stable, pressure-rated towed fish housing capable of withstanding deep-water operational environments, incorporating integrated cabling for the transmission of power and data. The housing must be constructed entirely from corrosion-resistant materials to ensure long-term durability in marine conditions, with engineering specifications focused on maintaining structural integrity under high pressure and dynamic towing loads. The system must be engineered for reliable deployment and retrieval in open ocean or coastal applications, with attention to minimizing drag and ensuring stable orientation during tow operations. The contract is structured as a subcontract under NAICS code 332999, reflecting its classification within other fabricated metal product manufacturing. It was posted on July 30, 2026, with a response deadline of August 12, 2026, and is being managed by the Florida Police Department, though the specific office location and point of contact are not provided. Performance is expected to occur in an unspecified location within Florida, and the solicitation does not indicate a set-aside status or procurement category beyond the subcontract type. The project is accessible via a public procurement portal, suggesting transparency in the bidding process but without further details on evaluation criteria or award expectations.
