About this IDV

Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) awarded an Other Transaction IDV to Undersea Sensor Systems, Inc., operating as Ultra Sonobuoy Systems, on August 7, 2024, for Q53H Low-Rate Initial Production with a ceiling of $99,999,738. The agreement sits outside the Federal Acquisition Regulation under OT authority and represents a multiple-award vehicle with no set-aside designation.

Undersea Sensor Systems, through its Ultra Maritime Division, manufactures advanced sonobuoy systems and undersea acoustic detection equipment critical to anti-submarine warfare operations. The company designs, develops, and produces sonobuoys, hydrophones, acoustic sensors, and associated electronic components for Navy maritime defense capabilities, with primary manufacturing in Columbia City, Indiana.

This OT IDV supports low-rate initial production of AN/SSQ-53H sonobuoys, a platform that transitions from earlier prototype development phases into sustained production quantities. The agreement provides flexible acquisition mechanisms to deliver Q53H production variants across NAVAIR task order requirements as the Navy modernizes its undersea warfare detection and classification systems.

Undersea Sensor Systems holds no small business certifications and operates as a specialized, non-small business defense supplier with over two decades of federal contracting experience dating to SAM.gov registration in May 2001. The company maintains multiple active OT IDVs and IDIQs with NAVAIR spanning prototype development, low-rate initial production, and design efforts across sonobuoy variants, complemented by a $1.65 billion MADOC IDIQ awarded in 2022 for advanced sonobuoy systems and undersea sensor technologies.
