About this opportunity

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division (NSWC PCD) is seeking information on capabilities for localizing and monitoring seabed infrastructure using uncrewed underwater vehicles (UUVs) and uncrewed surface vehicles (USVs). Specifically, NSWC PCD is interested in sensing and automatic target recognition (ATR) technologies that can detect, localize, avoid, and monitor seabed infrastructure and obstacles. This includes observing proud, partially buried, and buried seabed infrastructure such as cabling, pipes, and minelike objects, as well as water column obstacles like nets, boulders, and wrecks. Respondents should provide details on product descriptions, key technologies, product maturity, and country of origin. NSWC PCD may request further information, presentations, or site visits from respondents, and responses are due by November 26, 2024. This is a pre-solicitation notice, and no solicitation document currently exists.

This opportunity is not set-aside for any particular business size or type. NSWC PCD has not identified any potential incumbents or current contractors. The applicable NAICS code is 334511 - Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing, with a size standard of 1,350 employees. The applicable PSC code is 5865 - Electronic Countermeasures, Counter-Countermeasures And Quick Reaction Capability Equipment. No award values or budget ranges have been provided in the pre-solicitation notice.

REQUEST FOR INFORMATION FOR INFRASTRUCTURE AND OBSTACLE LOCALIZATION AND MONITORING FOR UNCREWED VEHICLES

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division (NSWC PCD) is seeking information on capabilities for localizing and monitoring seabed infrastructure using uncrewed underwater vehicles (UUVs) and uncrewed surface vehicles (USVs).

Description

NSWC PCD is seeking information on sensing and automatic target recognition (ATR) capabilities for detecting, localizing, avoiding and monitoring seabed infrastructure and seabed and water column obstacles using UUVs and USVs.  Sensing technologies of interest are capable of observing proud, partially buried, and buried seabed infrastructure (such as cabling, pipes, minelike objects, and other manmade infrastructure) or obstacles (such as nets, boulders, wrecks, and other objects in the water column) that can be mounted on UUVs and USVs ranging in size from man-portable to large diameter vehicles.  Corresponding ATR technologies of interest are able to detect, classify, identify, and/or localize seabed infrastructure and obstacles within sensor observations (raw or processed) that can be run in real time without an operator in the loop.

Technologies capable of externally monitoring the status of seabed infrastructure without having direct contact or access to the infrastructure (such as automatically assessing damage or changes in infrastructure via acoustic, visual, magnetic, or other sensing mechanisms) over an extended time period involving multiple UUV or USV missions in an area are also of interest.

The applicable PSC code is 5865. The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) for this requirement is 334511.  Size Standard is 1350 employees.

Responses

Responses to this RFI should include supporting materials that provide a demonstration of your company’s capabilities and experience. The following information is requested (indicate if the information is an estimate or actual).

  1. Product Description (including key features/functionality)
  2. Key Technology Description
  3. Product Maturity
  4. Country of Origin

The Navy invites both large and small businesses to address the RFI above.

Please e-mail responses with any supporting pictures or attachments to trivia.s.massaline.civ@us.navy.mil and label with the solicitation number and title.  NSWC Panama City requests your responses by 26 November 2024.  Questions can be submitted electronically to trivia.s.massaline.civ@us.navy.mil and bryan.d.todd3.civ@us.navy.mil.

The technical point of contact is Bryan Todd, NSWC PCD Code S31, bryan.d.todd3.civ@us.navy.mil.

All information shall be provided free of charge to the Government. NSWC PCD may request further information regarding the capabilities of respondents to meet the requirements and may request a presentation and/or a site visit as deemed necessary.

THE SUBMISSION OF THIS INFORMATION IS FOR PLANNING PURPOSES ONLY AND IS NOT TO BE CONSTRUED AS A COMMITMENT BY THE GOVERNMENT TO PROCURE ANY ITEMS/SERVICES, NOR FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO PAY FOR THE INFORMATION RECEIVED.  NO SOLICITATION DOCUMENT EXISTS AT THIS TIME.
