This is a Statement of Requirements for a hydrophone array system to be integrated with a Teledyne Slocum G3 autonomous underwater glider for the Naval Postgraduate School Physics Department. The requirement specifies procurement of an OceanObserver SNOUT V3 customized system from Jasco Applied Sciences, featuring an 8-channel data acquisition system housed in a pressure rating exceeding 1000 meters depth, with four channels dedicated to hydrophones and four reserved for future sensor expansion. The system must provide real-time passive acoustic detection capabilities with onboard algorithms and external communication interface, along with native mounting integration for the glider's nose, wings, and tail sections.

The complete procurement package includes four M36-V35-100 hydrophones, associated hydrophone cabling, mounting hardware, glider wings, twelve SD1000 storage cards, embedded PAMLab software with one year of support, an accessory kit, Pelican shipping case, and integration support services. The requested delivery date is December 31, 2026. The associated Notice of Intent to Award indicates a sole-source award to Jasco Applied Sciences under commercial acquisition procedures, with justification based on the company being the only known responsible source capable of meeting the government's technical requirements and schedule. The applicable NAICS code is 334511 (Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing), and the PSC is 6640, with award contemplated as a firm-fixed-price contract.
