This is a Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source Contract issued by NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center San Diego (FLCSD) under Solicitation N00244-26-Q-0057. The notice announces the intended award of a commercial sole source contract to Quartermaster AI, Inc. (CAGE Code: 9K6Q6, UEI: HCFJASF32YV3) for a 12-month subscription-based Data-as-a-Service (DaaS) model of the SmartMast Maritime Sensor system. The contract is classified under NAICS Code 518210 (Computing Infrastructure Providers, Data Processing, and Web Hosting) and PSC 7C20 (IT and Telecom - Data Center Products). The requirement is for installation onboard the Medium Unmanned Surface Vessel (MUSV) "Sea Hunter" to support Unmanned Surface Vessel Squadron One (USVRON-1) and Carrier Strike Group One (CSG-1) pre-deployment work-ups, training, and operational missions. The contract includes a 5-month optional subscription extension and custom software engineering services to integrate SmartMast sensor data streams into the Navy's Minotaur C2 architecture.
The contractor shall provide all hardware installation, satellite data transmission, secure web portal access, programmatic API delivery, training, and hardware retrieval. The Government asserts that Quartermaster AI, Inc. is the sole responsible source capable of satisfying the requirement due to proprietary software code, API architecture, and pre-approved integration with the Minotaur ecosystem, as well as the critical threshold date of August 10, 2026, for mandatory installation and integration to support scheduled fleet operations. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals; however, other responsible sources may submit capability statements by July 27, 2026, at 08:00 a.m. PST via email to yesica.l.burrill.civ@us.navy.mil. The Government will consider such submissions solely to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement, with the final decision remaining within the Government's sole discretion.

Description:
NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center San Diego (FLCSD) intends to award a commercial Sole Source contract to Quartermaster AI, Inc. (CAGE Code: 9K6Q6, UEI: HCFJASF32YV3).
This requirement is for the procurement of a 12-month commercial subscription-based Data-as-a-Service (DaaS) model for the SmartMast Maritime Sensor system, to be installed onboard the Medium Unmanned Surface Vessel (MUSV) "Sea Hunter" in support of Unmanned Surface Vessel Squadron One (USVRON-1) and Carrier Strike Group One (CSG-1) pre-deployment work-ups, training, and operational missions. The requirement also includes a 5-month optional subscription extension and custom software engineering services to integrate the proprietary SmartMast sensor data streams directly into the Navy's Minotaur C2 architecture.
The contractor shall provide all hardware installation, satellite data transmission, secure web portal access, programmatic API delivery, training, and subsequent hardware retrieval as defined in the Requirements Statement.
The Quartermaster AI SmartMast is a highly specialized, proprietary sensor platform that fuses EO/IR cameras, AIS, and RF detection with onboard edge-AI processing (Automated Target Recognition).

It represents the only source capable of completing the mandatory installation and integration by the critical threshold date of August 10, 2026, to support scheduled fleet operations.
