The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded Emprise Corporation an indefinite delivery contract with a potential value of $7,499,927 to provide Shipboard Automated Maintenance Management system support services. Under the contract, NOAA has issued three firm fixed price delivery orders to Emprise totaling $3,432,978 for SAMM support.
The delivery orders have periods of performance from October 2023 to December 2023, September 2022 to October 2023, and September 2021 to November 2022. Emprise will provide systems administration, maintenance and management services to support NOAA's fleet of research and survey vessels operating out of Gales Ferry, Connecticut. The services aim to ensure NOAA can effectively maintain its fleet assets through computerized maintenance management utilizing the SAMM and related systems.
As the sole contracting vehicle, the IDV was awarded non-competitively based on Emprise's expertise in customizing and supporting the MSC-developed SAMM system already implemented across NOAA's fleet. NOAA issued a pre-solicitation notice of its intent to negotiate with Emprise under the IDV's authority, but accepted capability statements from other vendors which did not impact the sole source award.
