About this opportunity
The United States Special Operations Command has published a Notice of Intent to Award Sole Source for VideoRay Defender underwater Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) repair services. This special notice involves a simplified procedures sole source justification for maintenance and repair services with an independent government estimate of $194,000. The procurement falls under the Ship Building and Repairing NAICS category and specifically covers maintenance, repair, and rebuilding of ships and small craft equipment. The Marine Special Operations Command (MARSOC) originally acquired three VideoRay Defender underwater ROVs through a third-party integrator called SARCOS, Inc. The notice was posted on August 19, 2025, indicating the government's intent to proceed with a sole source award.
The primary objective of this sole source procurement is to secure repair and warranty coverage for the VideoRay Defender ROVs for the remaining two-year warranty period after SARCOS divested its manufacturing capabilities. The justification explains that the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) has become the only viable source for repairs and support services, as no alternative network of distributors or third-party service providers exists for these specialized underwater vehicles. Contractors have until August 22, 2025, to respond to this notice, providing a narrow three-day window for any potential feedback or concerns. The procurement is being conducted under FAR 13.106-(b)(1) for sole source acquisitions, indicating that only the OEM is eligible to provide these specific repair services. This acquisition represents a continuation of support services for critical underwater vehicle assets already in MARSOC's inventory.
