The procurement is for one EdgeTech 6205s2 Wide Swath Bathymetry and Dual Frequency Side Scan Sonar System, to be sourced exclusively through ECHO81 LLC. The system is a unique sonar technology capable of simultaneously operating as a single frequency bathymetric sonar with dual-frequency side scan sonar acquisition, enabling real-time, high-resolution seafloor mapping in shallow waters less than 50 meters.
The system will be delivered by August 1, 2025, or within 60 days of contract award, and includes a mounting kit, GPS antenna, and software packages with a 1-year GNSS Correction Service. The justification emphasizes the system's compatibility with existing USNA equipment, including SonarWiz software and an EdgeTech 3100P Sub-bottom Profiler. ECHO81 LLC is noted as an authorized installation, service, and repair center for EdgeTech products. The procurement is being processed as a sole source due to the system's unique technological capabilities and specific compatibility requirements of the Naval Academy's Department of Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences.
