Description

This sources sought does not constitute the solicitation of proposal; authority to enter into negotiations to award a contract for the items has not been received and funds are not currently available. The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Newport (NUWCDIVNPT) is seeking sources for commercially available buoy systems for submarine use. Candidate buoys should be capable of being used in "cast and drift" operation vice towed. Also, they must be recoverable and include a fiber optic tether for link back to the submarine. The ideal buoy system would include either a communications or electronic surveillance capability or could be reconfigured for U.S Navy specific payload. The maximum acceptable diameter is 24 inches. This is not a Request for Proposal(RFP). There is no commitment on the part of the U.S. Navy to award a contract as a result of this request for information.
