- Description
- The Coastal Systems Station (CSS), Dahlgren Division, NSWC, Panama City, Florida intends to issue a sole-source purchase order to WETLABS Incorporation for the procurement of an AC-9 plus Absorption and Beam Attenuation Meter. The attenuation meter will be used to augment and upgrade the current suite of optical oceanographic instrumentation of the Coastal Test Range. This equipment replaces older, outdated hardware and software an will allow improve performance for the collection of oceanographic data, specifically the optical water properties of absorption and beam attenuation at nine different wavelengths. This acquisition is unsuitable for full and open competition for the following reasons. This is the only equipment, for this upgrade, that is 100% backward compatible and easily integrated with existing hardware and software. This level of compatibility and integration a re required to prevent data loss during at-sea test operations that would be extremely expensive and very difficult to recreate. Financial and programmatic repercussions of such an occurrence are immeasurable. If different equipment is used, it would increase the overall cost of the effort to the Government. Such costs would consist of integration of new equipment into the system, training of test range personnel to operate the new equipment, and an extension to the current test schedule of the Coastal Test Range. NAICS Code 334516. Size Standard is 500 employees.
