Transfer Under Pressure (TUP) UCA Definitization

Navsea Hq awarded a sole source, Cost-Plus Fixed Fee Level of Effort contract (N00024-24-C-4301) to Oceaneering International Inc. (OII) for the capability and modernization of Transfer Under Pressure (TUP) systems and support for the Surveillance Towed Array Sensor System (SURTASS-E). This non-competitive award was made under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, as OII is the original equipment manufacturer and the only responsible source with the unique expertise required to prevent unacceptable delays and duplicative costs. The scope of work includes engineering, production, supply, operations support, technical services, and spare parts to ensure the operational readiness of critical submarine rescue and undersea surveillance missions. The contract performance is based in San Diego, California, with administrative oversight provided by the NAVSEA Fleet Support Contracts Division in Washington, DC. The period of performance consists of a base year plus four one-year options, spanning from January 2024 through December 2028. Funding for these efforts is drawn from Operations and Maintenance, Navy (O&MN), Other Procurement, Navy (OPN), and Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) appropriations. Key deliverables include TUP system modernization, SURTASS-E Ship Interface Templates, and the provision of hardware and technical support to maintain safe and secure system functionality.
