Maintenance of Optic System Sensors

The Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk (FLCN), operating under the Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command, is seeking qualified contractors to provide maintenance services for optical system sensors used in meteorological and oceanographic operations globally. The procurement encompasses calibration and repair services for specialized equipment including HyperPro and HyperSas systems, CTD sensors, transmissometers, fluorometers, backscatter sensors, pH sensors, and acoustic Doppler current profilers, among other oceanographic instruments. All maintenance must comply with National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standards and factory specifications, with the contractor responsible for performing routine repairs, visual inspections for shipping and use damage, sensor cell and connector replacement, and port-side testing support at Continental United States locations or Stennis Space Center, Mississippi. The government has not specified detailed evaluation criteria in the Pre-Solicitation Notice, as this is a sources sought notice for market research and planning purposes only; however, interested parties should anticipate that past performance, technical capability, compliance with CUI security requirements, and pricing will likely be important factors in any future solicitation. Respondents must submit no more than 10 pages of information by 10:00 AM EST on February 24, 2026, to Ms. Ashlee Yawn at Ashlee.K.Yawn.civ@us.navy.mil, referencing solicitation number N0018926OSM.

This procurement carries no set-aside designation and does not identify any incumbent contractors. The anticipated contract will be structured as an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Firm Fixed Price (FFP) vehicle under NAICS Code 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance), with a performance period of five years beginning January 28, 2026. No specific award value or budget range has been disclosed in the Pre-Solicitation Notice. The government will furnish items to be serviced and cover inbound shipping, while the contractor must provide return shipping and deliver three key deliverables: repaired hardware, calibration specification sheets in PDF format, and shipping information. Interested contractors should note that while this sources sought notice does not constitute a binding solicitation and no monetary compensation will be provided for response preparation, it serves as an important indicator that an official solicitation is anticipated in the near term, making this an appropriate time for qualified vendors to submit capability statements and demonstrate their qualifications to support this critical naval oceanographic mission.
