About this opportunity
The Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division, part of the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command, has issued a Sources Sought notice seeking information on commercially available Electronically Controlled Closed-Circuit Rebreathers (eCCR) for underwater breathing apparatus. The procurement requires specialized diving equipment capable of operating from 0 to over 300 feet of saltwater depth, with specific technical requirements including oxygen control systems, CO2 scrubber capabilities, back-mounting configuration, and compatibility with bite mouthpiece assemblies. Potential vendors must be either prime contractors or authorized distributors and must provide comprehensive documentation including technical specifications, estimated costs, delivery timelines, maintenance costs, production rates, and performance data. The opportunity is classified under NAICS code 339920 (Sporting and Athletic Goods Manufacturing) with a company size standard of 750 employees. Interested parties have until August 20, 2025, to respond to this market research initiative, with qualified companies potentially invited to an industry day on September 3-4, 2025, at Applied Research Laboratories-University of Texas in Austin.
This pre-solicitation notice does not include any set-aside designations and is open to all qualified contractors meeting the specified requirements. No incumbent contractors or current service providers are identified in the documentation, as this represents an initial market research phase to explore available commercial solutions for naval diving operations. The notice does not specify award values, budget ranges, or quantities of equipment needed, focusing instead on gathering information about commercially available technologies and their capabilities. The government has made clear that this is strictly an information-gathering effort and that no reimbursement will be provided for response costs, indicating that any formal solicitation and contract details will be determined based on the market research results.
