- Description
- The Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City intends to issue a sole source purchase order to Sea-Bird Electronics Incorporated (SBE), 1808 136th Place NE, Bellevue, Washington for the acquisition of two (2) SBE 19-plus Conductivity, Temperature, and Depth (CTD) Optics-Ready Profilers (NAVOCEANO configuration). The CTD systems being acquired are urgently needed to support mission essential operations aboard Navy military helicopters and ships supporting Mine Warfare (MIW) operations. Because optical mine hunting systems are migrating to the fleet, the U. S. Navy has an immediate need to increase their optics/CTD sensor package deployments on military platforms. These sensors provide data in support of other sensors used for oceanography, hydrography, ASW, home land security, MIW, Naval Special Warfare, and many other mission related tasks. There are no other contractors other than Sea Bird that can provide a CTD that meets all of the U.S. Navy requirements. Any ch anges to these requirements would adversely impact the mission of NAVOCEANO and our support to the MIW community. Additionally, the U.S. Navy already has an enormous inventory of the same/similar Sea Bird sensors being purchased. Changing vendors or instrumentation would call for a significant increase in funding to re-engineer current CTD/optics systems. This would also require additional maintenance dollars and training programs to ensure data collection and database population. Sea Bird has the required expertise to provide necessary calibrations and repairs to these COTS units. Staying with COTS available instrumentation provides the greatest financial benefit for the government. NAICS Code is 334519, FSC Code is 6030, SBA Size Standard is 500 employees.
