About this IDV

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command awarded an indefinite-delivery contract to Link Technologies Inc. on August 1, 2026, with a $40 million ceiling under a Total Small Business set-aside as one of multiple awards. Link Technologies Inc. is a woman-owned small business and Alaskan Native Corporation owned firm. The IDIQ procures a contractor-owned, contractor-operated, government augmented (COCOGA) service using long-endurance unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) to perform high-resolution ocean floor mapping globally, with the contractor providing all equipment, maintenance, survey operation coordination, safe mobilization, mission planning, and daily operations, and potential contractor responsibility for data processing and delivery.

The requirement traces to pre-solicitation notice N0018926USV, posted February 23, 2026, which Naval Supply Systems Command issued on behalf of the Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVOCEANO). The notice specifies four survey 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 all 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 and documentation.

Performance runs from award through ultimate completion on July 31, 2028.
