Degaussing And Mine Sweeping Equipment

Product Service Code (PSC) 1075 covers Degaussing and Mine Sweeping Equipment, which encompasses specialized maritime and naval technologies designed for detecting, clearing, and neutralizing underwater mines and managing magnetic signatures of naval vessels. These products include advanced electronic systems, mechanical components, and specialized equipment used in naval mine countermeasure operations. The equipment supports critical maritime defense and security functions, enabling safer naval navigation and operational capabilities.

Federal Contract Awards in this PSC category demonstrate a diverse range of procurement activities, predominantly from the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), and U.S. Navy components. Contract values range from approximately $1,000 to over $947,000, with performance periods typically spanning several months to multiple years. Frequently awarded entities include Textron Systems Corporation, HII Unmanned Systems, Raytheon Company, and various small businesses specializing in maritime and electronic equipment. Most awards are firm fixed-price purchase orders or delivery orders, with approximately 20% utilizing small business set-aside designations. Procurement locations are primarily in the continental United States, with contractors based in states like Massachusetts, California, Pennsylvania, and Florida.

Recent Federal Contract Opportunities focus on sole-source acquisitions for specialized unmanned maritime system components and degaussing equipment. The Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division has posted two notices seeking specific parts for MK-18 underwater systems, including a Fin Motor Controller and Vehicle Battery/Side Scan Upgrade Assembly. Another opportunity from the Military Sealift Command seeks Advanced Degaussing System Bipolar Single Board Computer Replacement Kits for the USNS WILLIAM MCLEAN. These opportunities emphasize technical specificity, proprietary requirements, and the critical nature of maintaining sophisticated naval equipment through targeted, often non-competitive procurement processes.
