Description

One (1) complete portable uncrewed surface vessel (USV) surveying system to include the primary boat hull, electronics and communication suites, field safety maintenance spares, a pre-integrated high-resolution multibeam echosounder subsystem, secondary hydrographic sensors (side scan sonar and ADCP modules), and professional equipment operation training for the National Ocean Service (NOS), Office of Coast Survey (OCS), Center of Excellence for Operational Ocean and Great Lakes Mapping (COE) in Durham, NH.

Brand Names required: R2Sonic 2020-V Plus MBES, Teledyne RiverPro Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP)

  1. R2Sonic 2020-V PLUS MBES: This system natively supports the high-resolution requirements of NOAA HSSD and IHO Special Order surveys by providing up to 1024 true soundings per ping. It features a uniquely embedded Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) directly in the sonar head, requiring only a single cable and reducing the wet-end mass to 4.4 kg—critical for payload-constrained USVs. Other companies' similar products cannot be modified to meet this need. For example, the Seafloor SeaRAY only yields 512 beams and operates in a restricted 400-550 kHz range (failing the 200-400kHz optimal shallow-water threshold), while the Teledyne MB2 is capped at an unacceptable 256 beams.

  2. Teledyne RDI RiverPro ADCP: The RiverPro is an industry standard for shallow-water profiling. It is uniquely essential due to its 5-beam transducer configuration and official Certificate of Conformance. Similar products from other companies cannot natively output to the required WinRiver II educational environment.

This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with RFO Part 12. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; offers are being requested and no other written solicitation will be issued.

This solicitation is being issued as a total small business set-aside. The associated NAICS code is 334511. The small business size standard is 1,350 employees.

This combined solicitation/synopsis is for purchase of the following commercial supplies: Purchase and Delivery of one (1) complete portable uncrewed surface vessel (USV) surveying system. The acquisition encompasses the primary boat hull, electronics and communication suites, field safety maintenance spares, a pre-integrated high-resolution multibeam echosounder subsystem, secondary hydrographic sensors (side scan sonar and ADCP modules), and professional equipment operation training.

See attached full Combined Synopsis with all terms and conditions which all vendors must be in compliance with to be eligible for award.
At a minimum, all quotes should include contact information and CAGE Code.
