This is a Market Research, Commerciality, and Sole Source Determination form for the U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) regarding the MARTAC T12 procurement.

The requirement involves the procurement and integration of a depth finder capability and associated equipment for four Marine Forces Special Operations Command (MARFORSOC) T12 Unmanned Surface Vehicles, along with eight additional battery chargers and sixteen cable harnesses. The estimated contract price is $45,543.60, classified as an unclassified commercial item. The customer has identified Maritime Tactical Systems, Inc. (MARTAC), located in Melbourne, Florida, as a small business with CAGE code 6WQW6. MARTAC is designated as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for the T12 USV and is the sole source capable of performing the required integration, as ADS would not add service value to the existing contract. Market research was conducted between February and April 2026 through expert opinion, contact with industry, and prior purchase history. The analysis confirms that only MARTAC possesses the exclusive proprietary knowledge and restrictive rights necessary to integrate the new depth finder capability into the existing T12 USV architecture without creating unacceptable risk to government-owned assets. The anticipated solicitation method is sole source award directly to MARTAC. The contracting information indicates NAICS code 488390 under PSC K019, classified as a service requirement. All mandatory sources (Agency Inventories, Ability One Services and Supplies, Federal Supply Schedule, and Federal Prison Industries) are marked as unavailable.
