- NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE The government has conducted market research and determined that only one available source can provide Expendable Bathythermograph (XBT) and associated recording devices to conduct global oceanographic survey for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and its line offices such as the Atlantic Oceanographic & Meterological Laboratory. The government intends on soliciting and negotiating a sole source contract with Lockheed Martin Sippican, Inc. out of Marion, MA. This will be issued in accordance with Section 303(c)(1) of the Federal property and Administrative Services Act of 1949, as amended by the Competition in Contracting Act, 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), and is implemented by FAR 6.302-1, which authorized other than full and open competition when there is only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.

The response needs to address the following regarding their product line: (1) Specifications, product literature, or other additional information addressing whether the products offered can met the following requirements: (1A) XBT probes Requirements: * Provides temperature profiles of at least 750 m at ship speeds of 20 knots or more * Provides temperature profiles of at least 1000 m at ship speeds of 20 knots or more * Provides temperature profiles of at least 1800 m at ship speeds of 6 knots or more * Provides temperature profiles with vertical resolution of 70 cm or better * Provides conductivity measurements between 0 and 70 mS/cm, with a resolution of 0.02 mS/cm or better, and accuracy of 0.03 mS/cm. (1B) Recording Equipment Requirements: * Can record temperature profiles using the above mentioned probe types * Can be easily integrated to the operation of automatic probe launchers * Can record temperature profiles with accuracy of 0.2°C, temperature resolution of 0.01°C, at a temperature range of -2 to 35°C for XBT probes. * In addition to XBT probes, can record temperature and salinity profiles from other instruments including Expendable Conductivity/Temperature/Depth (XCTD) and Aircraft Expendable Conductivity/Temperature/Depth (AXCTD) profilers. (2) Organization's name, Address, Phone Number, Email, Point of Contact Information, and place(s) of manufacture. (3) Any relevant experience in providing these types of supplies (e.g. former customers, product lines, years of development).
