About this opportunity
The Naval Supply Systems Command, through NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk, is soliciting a firm fixed price, multiple award indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract for data-encrypted autonomous in-situ subsurface profiling systems. These air-deployable profiling floats must communicate via Short Burst Data format over the Iridium satellite system with NIST-certified FIPS 140-level encryption and operate unattended for at least 120 profiles to a minimum depth of 500 meters while supporting sea states 0 through 6. Key technical requirements include routing data directly to the Naval Oceanographic Office post-deployment and providing software updates and technical documentation. Evaluation will emphasize non-price factors, with Technical Submission (12 pages maximum) weighted most heavily, followed by Past Performance (12 pages maximum) and Small Business Participation Plan. The solicitation deadline has been extended to 11:00 AM EST on March 4, 2026, with questions due by February 11, 2026, and an anticipated award date of August 24, 2026.
This is a women-owned small business set-aside solicitation with no current incumbent identified, and the government intends to award up to five contracts from a total contract ceiling of $51,136,250.00 across a 36-month ordering period from September 23, 2026 through September 22, 2029. The two contract line items include Operation and Maintenance Navy funding (CLIN 0001: $25,568,125.00) and Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation funding (CLIN 0002: $25,568,125.00). Seed pricing must be submitted for profiling floats in both small order quantities (2 units) and bulk quantities (100 units) on a firm fixed price basis. Performance will take place at John C. Stennis Space Center, Mississippi, and proposals must be submitted in three separate volumes including non-price information, price proposals, and small business subcontracting plans for large businesses, all in Microsoft Word or PDF format.
