About this IDV
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has awarded a single-award, $175,000 indefinite delivery contract to Sofar Ocean Technologies, Inc. (also doing business as Spoondrift Technologies) for a 5-year subscription to the company's Spotter Platform service. The Spotter Platform provides real-time and historical data collected by Sofar Ocean's global network of over 1,000 privately owned ocean monitoring buoys, which the USGS requires to support its coastal and marine science research and observation missions.
This sole source contract was justified under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) as the USGS determined Sofar Ocean to be the only reasonably available source for the specialized data services. The contract ceiling value is $175,000, with an estimated annual cost of $35,000. USGS has previously purchased 10 Spotter buoys from Sofar Ocean and seeks to maintain access to the company's comprehensive ocean sensing capabilities to fulfill its operational requirements. While this award was not set aside for any specific business size or type, USGS indicated it will conduct market research for future procurements to enable greater competition as the technology and marketplace evolve.
