About this file
This document outlines a federal solicitation for the upgrade and refurbishment of a government-owned remotely operated vehicle (ROV) called the Submerged Object Recovery Device (SORD).
The solicitation will be issued by the Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Keyport to upgrade and refurbish the SORD ROV through disassembling, repairing, refurbishing, sandblasting, painting and testing. Vendors will also be required to install, interface and test the control systems with the ROV and associated equipment. The resultant contract is anticipated to be awarded as a firm fixed price contract with solicitation number N0025318R0006 and applicable NAICS code 334511 with a size standard of 1250 employees. Questions regarding this solicitation must be submitted in writing no later than seven days before the closing date of 30 days after solicitation issuance at 1000 Pacific Standard Time.

ATTACHMENT 3
SORD IV RECOVERY SYSTEM PERFORMANCE
The system configured for recovery of underwater ordnance shall include an operationally proven, maneuverable undersea vehicle. It shall be remotely controlled from onboard a YTT that is placed into a three-point moor, in sea conditions up to State 3, on NUWC Division, Keyport Ranges. This recovery system, which is dependent on the surface vessel and the vessel’s power resources for operation, shall be comprised of the items described below:
(1) A telemetry & control system used to operate the ROV shall be available within the covered deck space aboard each YTT. The telemetry & control system shall contain electronics, software, and console devices necessary to control all the modes of operation of the recovery system, guide the movement of the ROV and its payload functions, visually monitor vehicle performance, and display signals.
(2) A YTT based power converter unit shall be used to receive electrical power from the vessel’s electrical system, switch, transform, protect, and distribute 2300 VAC, 60 Hz, 3-Ph, 100 kW power to the ROV telemetry and control system, via the handling system umbilical.
(3) The ROV and all systems/subsystems shall be designed to dive and operate in 2000 m (6562 ft) 5,000 FT of seawater.
(4) The ROV shall be capable of a tether point through frame rotary joint lift of 22.24 kN (5,000 lb) in air with a safety design factor of 5.
(5) The ROV wash-out system shall deliver a pick up nozzle flow rate of 10.22 kL (2700 gallons) per minute (threshold value) of a slurry comprised of seawater and of typical Pacific Northwest bay sedimentary materials found at the specified operational bottom depths. The ROV wash-out system shall have a sediment material removal rate of 1.6 U.S. tons per minute or more.
(6) The wash-out system shall be located within the ROV space. The wash-out system shall operate on power supplied through the tether cable and use no more than 10.44 kW (14 HP) of ROV power. The wash-out system shall avoid mechanically generating frequency ranges of 2 kHz to 200 kHz in order to allow for submerged object tracking.
(7) The Hydraulic Power System (HPS) shall be located within the ROV space and shall provide power to all hydraulically actuated ROV functions, including manipulator functions, The HPS, including operating pressures and flow rates, shall allow for 6 to 35 cycles per minute, response, in all directions, of the manipulator and components. adjustable, using 3.73 kW (5 HP) of ROV power. The system shall avoid mechanically generated frequency ranges of 2 kHz to 200 kHz in order to allow for submerged object tracking.
(8) The ROV based hydraulic systems and subsystems shall operate on J-13 hydraulic fluid.
(9) The ROV hydraulic filter shall be appropriately selected for the vehicle’s hydraulic equipment demand and duty cycles.
(10) The ROV hydraulic reservoir shall be appropriately sized to provide and sustain the volume of all hydraulic fluid in the entire ROV hydraulic system.
(11) The ROV shall contain video, sonar and electronic equipment, lights and sensors, and recovery work mechanisms.
(12) Electrical compensators shall be appropriately sized for the ROV’s electrical equipment.
(13) The ROV shall contain two low light (10-3 lux) (1.8 X 10-2 lux) zoom video cameras and one GFE video camera. A spare GFE zoom camera will be provided. The cameras relay video for visual manipulator control and wash-out monitoring.
(14) The ROV shall contain selectable Light-Emitting Diode (LED) flood lights with variable intensity and spectrum as light sources for the video clarity; quantity as necessary based on size.
(15) Navigation equipment:
(a) One (GFE) Sunwest SS 250 sonar head with a 300 sonar processor.
(b) One (GFE) Blueview(Model M900-2250) dual frequency multi-beam sonar, or equivalent sonar with non-free flooding head.
(c) One Heading sensor.
(16) Two ROV topside video & data systems with the following characteristics:
(a) Sixteen each RS232/RS485 channels.
(b) Four video channels.
(c) Two multi-Mode 50/125 Fiber-Optic channels.
(d) Two DVD Video Recorders.
(17) Two ROV control systems with the following components:
(a) Control, telemetry and graphics software.
(b) Power and control hardware.
(c) The appropriate related surface consoles
(d) Two pilot stations
(e) Two navigator stations.
(f) Direct accessibility to video & data multiplexors
(g) The control system shall be housed in a standard 19-inch rack no higher than 75.5 inches.
(18) The gross weight (in-air) of the SORD VI ROV final assembly shall not exceed 36.92 35.59 kN (8300 8,000 lbs).
