About this award
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a $19,500 firm fixed-price purchase order to Wing Inflatables Inc. on July 30, 2025, for the procurement and delivery of a replacement sponson with a new collar for the NOAA Ship Nancy Foster, a Northwind Marine 23 H-RIB (Hybrid Rigid Inflatable Boat). Wing Inflatables Inc., a for-profit manufacturer of inflatable maritime equipment based in Arcata, California, was selected as the sole-source contractor due to its status as the original equipment manufacturer for this specialized, proprietary component. The sponson is critical to maintaining the vessel's operational performance and stability characteristics. This contract does not include a set-aside designation, despite the originating solicitation being posted as a Total Small Business set-aside opportunity.
The procurement was conducted using simplified acquisition procedures under FAR Part 13 and commercial items guidelines under FAR Part 12, with performance expected to be completed by November 30, 2025. NOAA justified the sole-source approach to avoid unnecessary delays, warranty complications, and markups that could result from intermediary involvement, while ensuring the custom equipment meets the vessel's stringent specifications. Wing Inflatables has an established history of federal contract awards with maritime and defense agencies, including the U.S. Coast Guard, Naval Special Warfare Command, and U.S. Special Operations Command, and maintains multiple indefinite delivery vehicle contracts for inflatable maritime systems and components.
