7A--Purchase of HYSWEEP software for MO-E Science team

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), through its Office of Marine & Aviation Operations, is seeking to procure two HYSWEEP/HYPACK Survey Software Downloads for the MO-Science team's shoreside technical support and training activities. HYSWEEP is critical software that NOAA uses to plan, collect, and quality-check seafloor mapping data during hydrographic and scientific missions by integrating ship positioning, sonar data, and other sensor inputs into a single system. Only quotes from Authorized Distributors of HYPACK will be accepted, and vendors must provide proof of distribution authorization along with their submissions. The evaluation will be based on technical acceptability, past performance requiring two references from separate contracts, specification sheets, Authorized OEM Letter, and price using a lowest price, technically acceptable methodology. All quotes must be submitted electronically to isaac.bright@noaa.gov by 4:00 PM PST on September 17, 2025, with all questions due by the same deadline.

This procurement is designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 513210 (Software Publishers) with a $47 million size standard. The solicitation follows a single-source justification since HYPACK software units are only available from HYPACK (A Xylem Brand) or their Authorized Distributors, ensuring compatibility with existing systems. The government intends to award a single firm fixed-price purchase order on an all-or-none basis with Net 30 payment terms. Delivery is expected within 14 days after receipt of order, anticipated for October 15, 2025, with performance at the Marine Operations Center-Pacific in Newport, Oregon. Vendors must maintain active System for Award Management (SAM) registration and provide Page 1 of their SAM registration with their quote package.
