Underwater Sensor (Nextrak Receiver) SupplyThe contract entails the supply of 27 Nextrak acoustic receivers equipped with enhanced retrieval systems for integration into NOAA’s existing hydrophone network. These receivers are designed for long-term underwater acoustic monitoring and must meet stringent performance standards to ensure reliable data collection in marine environments. The enhanced retrieval systems are critical to improving deployment efficiency and minimizing loss during recovery operations, which directly supports NOAA’s oceanographic and marine life research objectives. The equipment must be delivered in full compliance with technical specifications and tested to verify functionality under operational conditions. This is a subcontract under the Small Business Administration set-aside program, with the NAICS code 334511 indicating it falls within the category of navigational, measuring, electromedical, and control instruments manufacturing. The solicitation was posted on July 31, 2026, and responses are due by August 14, 2026. The contracting authority is the National Marine Fisheries Service in Boulder under the U.S. Department of Commerce, and the devices will be deployed across federal marine monitoring sites. The successful vendor is expected to provide not only the hardware but also documentation, support, and possibly training to ensure seamless integration into NOAA’s monitoring infrastructure.

Underwater Hydrophone Retrieval and Maintenance
Solicitation # 1305M326Q0326
This contract solicits commercial services for the retrieval, maintenance, and redeployment of underwater hydrophones in Puget Sound, specifically at Admiralty Inlet, Central Puget Sound, and Tacoma Narrows. The base year requires the contractor to locate, recover, and remove 37 existing hydrophones and their full mooring assemblies—each weighing approximately 600 pounds—and install 27 new Nextrak receivers equipped with enhanced retrieval systems at the same locations. The contractor must supply all labor, equipment, tools, and materials, including purchasing and assembling specialized rigging to attach hydrophones to anchors. The period of performance for the base year runs from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2027, with four optional one-year extension periods extending through September 30, 2031, each requiring routine annual retrieval and redeployment of hydrophones in accordance with the Statement of Work. The contract is set aside for small businesses, defined as those with annual revenues under $47 million, with a NAICS code of 488330. The solicitation is structured as a firm-fixed-price contract with payment tied to completed milestones and deliverables, invoiced under Net 30 terms. Offers must be submitted electronically via email by 5 PM MST/MDT on August 7, 2026, and must include completed SF-18 and SF-30 forms, an active SAM registration with UEID/CAGE code, and detailed pricing for all phases, including itemized costs for mobilization, rigging, and installation. Evaluation prioritizes technical approach and prior experience over price, assessing vessel suitability for dive operations, cargo capacity, hauling capability, and the contractor’s documented performance on similar projects within the last three years. While price is a consideration, the government may award to a higher-priced offer if the technical solution provides significantly better value. All offers must conform to strict submission requirements, and the government reserves the right to reject non-responsive bids. The contractor must also be registered in FedConnect® to manage award administration, with the place of performance centered at the NWFSC office in Port Orchard, WA.
