About this IDV
The Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command awarded an indefinite-delivery contract to Saildrone Inc. on August 1, 2026, with a $40.0 million ceiling and an ultimate completion date of July 31, 2028. The IDIQ is a multiple-award vehicle with a total small business set-aside, and Saildrone Inc. holds no SBA set-aside certifications.
The vehicle covers a contractor-owned, contractor-operated, government augmented (COCOGA) service that uses long-endurance unmanned surface vehicles for high-resolution ocean floor mapping worldwide, supporting fleet safety of navigation and situational awareness. Required mission profiles are 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 a minimum monthly productivity of 2,000 linear nautical miles, use multibeam sonar meeting International Hydrographic Organization Order 1A standards, support 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 logs and documentation. The vehicle carries NAICS 541990 and PSC R702.
The originating action was pre-solicitation notice N0018926USV, posted February 23, 2026 by Naval Supply Systems Command on behalf of the Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVOCEANO). That notice identified no set-aside and no incumbents, RFI responses were due March 4, 2026, and it stated that submission did not constitute a government commitment to award.
