About this IDV
The Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command awarded Ocean Power Technologies, Inc. an indefinite-delivery contract on August 1, 2026, with a $40 million ceiling, as one of multiple awards under a total small business set-aside. The contract covers contractor-owned, contractor-operated, government augmented (COCOGA) long-endurance uncrewed surface vehicle services for high-resolution ocean floor mapping, with an ultimate completion date of July 31, 2028. Collection is global in scope.
The contractor must demonstrate capability across 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, allow remote monitoring by NAVOCEANO personnel over 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.
The requirement originates from pre-solicitation N0018926USV, posted February 23, 2026, in which the Naval Supply Systems Command procured on behalf of the Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVOCEANO). RFI responses were due March 4, 2026, and a virtual Industry Day was held March 11, 2026. The pre-solicitation was a market research effort with no set-aside and no disclosed award value. It is coded under NAICS 541990 and PSC R702.
