About this opportunity
Naval Sea Systems Command seeks firm fixed price contract support services for REMUS 600 autonomous underwater vehicle testing in Japan, with proposals due August 27. This is a sole source procurement to Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, foreclosing competition.
Place of performance is Panama City, Florida, with work conducted in Numazu, Japan. WHOI is the original equipment manufacturer and sole developer of the REMUS 600, holding proprietary knowledge and legal rights to develop, manufacture, and support the vehicle. The Contracting Officer determined WHOI is the only source capable of performing configuration, maintenance, repair, and operational support of the specific REMUS 600 vehicle owned by NSWC-PCD, and that sole source award represents best value with no expectation of significant savings through competition.
WHOI will provide comprehensive support including project planning and mobilization, vehicle preparation and checkout, international shipping and logistics coordination for government-furnished equipment, travel to and from Japan, mission planning and survey support, daily launch and recovery operations, vehicle maintenance and troubleshooting, daily data download and vehicle health assessment, mission status reporting, and demobilization and post-deployment servicing. The total estimated contract value exceeds $35,000 and will be funded with FY26 RDT&E dollars. The acquisition uses simplified acquisition procedures and is synopsized on sam.gov because it exceeds the $25,000 threshold. NAICS code is 541330, Engineering Services; PSC is R425, Support—Professional: Engineering/Technical. The Procuring Contracting Officer is Jamell Kilgore, jamell.l.kilgore.civ@us.navy.mil.
