- Description
- The Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City (NSWC PC) intends to award a sole source firm fixed price contract to EDO Corporation of Amityville, NY for engineering support services to modify the design of an Office of Naval Research (ONR) sponsored Unmanned Sea Surface Vehicle (USSV) ? High Tow Force to adapt it for potential use on a Littoral Combat Ship (LCS). Software integration is a key element of the overall task. This acquisition is unsuitable for full and open competition for the following reasons. The sweep system selected for use is the ONR-sponsored Unmanned Surface Sweep System (US3) originally designed and fabricated by EDO Corporation. It is undergoing technology demonstration testing this summer and will be available to the Mine Warfare (MIW) Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) program this fall. The USV selected to host the sweep system is a derivative of the ONR-sponsored Unmanned Sea Surface Vehicle (USSV) ? High Tow Force. Design for an updated variant of the USSV is currently underway. The design will incorporate changes that will facilitate LCS integration and installation of the sweep system. The existing sweep system hardware produced in support of the ONR effort is intended to be re-used as completely as possible in support of the first MIW mission package to support LCS requirements. EDO Corporation has unique knowledge that would require a 3 to 5-years learning curve from contractors not already experienced with this program. NAICS code is 334511, FSC code is AC30, SBA size standard is 750 employees.
