This document appears to be an attachment containing specifications for a required upgrade to an existing Universal Sonar Mount (USM) system currently installed on the R/V O'Brien research vessel. The USGS Woods Hole Coastal & Marine Science Center is seeking to replace the existing USM with a "HighTower Hinge Gear Bracket, 21" X-Pole" universal sonar mount system. The required specifications include the ability to mount a 150 lb. sonar head, repeatable positioning without re-calibration, a breakaway safety feature, the ability to hinge inboard for safe transit and storage, and operation by a single technician. This requirement is associated with a pending federal contract opportunity, Solicitation Number 140G0124Q0240, for a Universal Sonar Mount High Tower Bracket System. The RFQ will be issued on or about 07/25/2024 with quotes due by 08/07/2024. This is a total small business set-aside acquisition under NAICS code 334511 with a size standard of 1,350 employees.
