About this award
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Marine Operations Center awarded a $44,748 firm fixed-price purchase order to Kongsberg Discovery US, LLC for a Kongsberg EK-80 calibration kit on April 20, 2026. The procurement was conducted on a sole source basis under FAR 6.103-1 authority, with no small business set-aside designation applied. The calibration kit, which includes manual calibration equipment and downriggers, will support calibration of EK80 scientific echosounder systems installed across the NOAA research vessel fleet to ensure accuracy and reliability of acoustic data used in fisheries surveys and ecosystem monitoring missions. Delivery is scheduled for April 30, 2026, with the equipment to be delivered FOB destination to NOAA's Marine Operations Center-Pacific in Newport, Oregon.
Kongsberg Discovery US, LLC, a Lynnwood, Washington-based subsidiary of Norway's Kongsberg Group, serves as the original equipment manufacturer and sole qualified supplier for advanced maritime acoustic technologies and underwater systems to multiple federal agencies. The company's established expertise as the specialized provider of EK80 echosounder systems and related components across NOAA's oceanographic research operations justified the sole source award. Kongsberg maintains a $31.8 million indefinite delivery contract with NOAA (awarded June 23, 2021, through June 30, 2026) providing oceanographic and hydrographic equipment, software, and related services for fleet operations, under which this calibration kit purchase order was issued as a delivery order supporting the agency's congressionally mandated fisheries assessment and ecosystem monitoring missions.
