The Coastal Systems Station, Panama City, FL, intends to award a firm fixed-price contract on a sole-source basis to Sonatech, Inc.

The modifications involve changes to hardware and data processing functions that are proprietary to Sonatech, Inc., and for which the government does not have technical data rights.
