Description

The United States Navy has a need globally for additional ocean floor mapping data in many ocean regions but does not possess the capacity to collect the data using the current portfolio of survey platforms. This request aims to enhance the mission effectiveness by shifting tasks traditionally performed by government-owned, manned platforms, to obtaining services that incorporate contractor-owned long-endurance Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USV). North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code: 541990 - All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services (this may change based on ongoing market research). The support required under this anticipated procurement is included in the Requirement Criteria (Attachment I). THIS SPECIAL NOTICE IS FOR MARKET RESEARCH AND PLANNING PURPOSES ONLY. IT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A SOLICITATION AND SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED AS A COMMITMENT BY THE GOVERNMENT TO AWARD A CONTRACT FORM RESPONSES TO THIS ANNOUNCEMENT. ANY INFORMATION SUBMITTED BY INTERESTED PARTIES IS STRICTLY VOLUNTARY AND NO MONETARY COMPENSATION WILL BE PROVIDED FOR RESPONSE PREPARATION.
