Request for Information

The Naval Oceanographic Office published a Special Notice seeking information regarding underwater bioluminescence sensors, associated power and communication conversion systems, and sea cables. Responses to the Naval Oceanographic Office's request for information number N6230620PR0087NV will aid in determining the acquisition approach for these products and services as either a small business set aside or full and open competition with potential for multiple awards.

The Special Notice provides contractors until May 23, 2020 to submit a company overview, capabilities statement, small or large business designation, domestic or foreign ownership information, pricing estimates, and any other relevant details to Victoria Brayman at victoria.brayman@navy.mil. It includes salient characteristics for an Underwater Bioluminescence Assessment Tool sensor capable of sampling at 60 Hz within a depth of 600 meters and dynamic range of 2.5e6 to 2.5e13 photons/s, as well as requirements for a compatible power and communication conversion system and 70 meter sea cable. The objective is to procure these items through this market research and request for information process.
