Ocean Engineering Services 2009-2015

The Ocean Engineering Services 2009-2015 Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract is a multiple-award vehicle focused on providing comprehensive ocean engineering and facilities support services to the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC). The contract encompasses a wide range of technical and engineering services, including ocean infrastructure maintenance, marine systems design, underwater cable and mooring installation, marine infrastructure testing, naval facility support, and advanced technology development for maritime applications. These services span critical naval infrastructure domains such as submarine cable systems, naval fuel facilities, mooring systems, underwater sensor arrays, and maritime technology prototyping.

The contract's task orders demonstrate substantial technical diversity, with values ranging from approximately $10,000 to over $9 million and typical completion periods between six months and three years. Sound & Sea Technology, Inc., a woman-owned small business, appears to be a frequent prime contractor, receiving numerous cost-plus-fixed-fee task orders. Most task orders were set aside for small businesses, with a notable focus on engineering support at naval facilities like the Naval Construction Battalion Center in Port Hueneme, California, and locations in Hawaii. Common scopes include underwater cable survey and installation, naval mooring system maintenance, maritime technology research and development, sensor system design, and logistical support for naval expeditionary programs. The contract supported critical naval technology efforts such as the Expeditionary Swimmer Defense System, Variable Depth Sonar development, and wave energy test site engineering.
