About this IDV

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command awarded an indefinite-delivery contract to Chance Technologies LLC, doing business as Chance Maritime Technologies, on August 1, 2026, with a $40.0 million ceiling. The IDIQ is a total small business set-aside and one of multiple awards, though its originating pre-solicitation used no set-aside. The prime is a Lafayette, Louisiana-based small disadvantaged business.

The contract requires a contractor-owned, contractor-operated, government augmented (COCOGA) service using long-endurance unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) to perform high-resolution ocean floor mapping. The ultimate completion date is July 31, 2028. The source states no minimum guarantee and no base or option structure.

The originating pre-solicitation, N0018926USV, was posted February 23, 2026, by Naval Supply Systems Command on behalf of the Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVOCEANO) under NAICS 541990 and PSC R702. It calls for collection of ocean floor mapping data globally across four mission profiles: shallow water bathymetric surveys (vessel draft to approximately 200 meters), bathymetric surveys (200 to 4,000 meters), deep water bathymetric surveys (4,000 meters to full ocean depth), and seamount surveys (vessel draft to 4,000 meters). Solutions must achieve minimum monthly productivity of 2,000 linear nautical miles, use multibeam sonar meeting International Hydrographic Organization Order 1A standards, enable remote monitoring by NAVOCEANO personnel via NIPRNET, and encrypt data at rest and in transit. Deliverables include raw multibeam sonar data, oceanographic profiles, GNSS observables, vessel motion data, collection logs, a Report of Survey, and processed data products with processing logs. Government augmentation may include leading planning and execution phases, operating the contractor-supplied mapping payload, or performing all data processing.
