About this opportunity

The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Newport (NUWCDIVNPT) awarded a $38.15 million Cost Plus Fixed Fee and Cost Reimbursement task order to Oceaneering International Inc. on September 2, 2026, for continued maturation and fabrication of the TETRA II system and subsystems. The agency of record is the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command.

The task order, contract number N6660418DC818, was issued under the NUWCDIVNPT Unmanned Undersea Vehicle Family of Systems Multiple Award Contract. The award carried no set-aside. It was made on an exception to fair opportunity basis under FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(C) as a logical follow-on to an existing order, and a redacted Justification for Exception to Fair Opportunity is attached.

The justification cites a one-year schedule delay, duplicative transition and recertification costs, and mission impact from TETRA's complexity and vendor-proprietary components as reasons to avoid another contractor. The Government found the anticipated cost fair and reasonable per a Business Clearance Memorandum. Scope includes program management, configuration management, technical data package updates, hardware, firmware, and software modifications, testing, operator training, cybersecurity surveillance, and prototype fabrication. Code 45 intends to monitor vendor performance and emerging competitors for potential future competitive solicitations.
