About this opportunity
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has awarded a sole-source purchase order to the University of Hawaii Currents Group for continued support of the University of Hawaii Data Acquisition System (UHDAS) aboard NOAA research vessels on September 18, 2026, under contract 1305M226P0318.
The justification cites 41 U.S.C. 1901 and invokes simplified procedures under the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul for acquisitions up to $9 million. NOAA determined that UHCG is the only source capable of providing these services because UHDAS is a specialized system with proprietary software, processing algorithms, and vessel-specific configurations developed and maintained exclusively by the University of Hawaii. The requirement covers operational support including maintenance, installation, training, and technical services necessary for the acquisition, processing, monitoring, quality assurance, and archival of shipboard Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) data. NOAA posted a Notice of Intent to Sole Source on SAM.gov on June 10, 2026, which remained open for 14 days with no responses received. Price reasonableness will be determined through review of the contractor's proposal, historical pricing under previous Cooperative Institute-supported UHDAS activities, and comparison to historical pricing for similar services. NOAA commits to monitoring the marketplace for alternative solutions in future acquisition planning and will solicit competitive proposals if viable alternatives emerge that meet security requirements.
