## Description

THE NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION’S (NOAA) PACIFIC MARINE ENVIROMENTAL LABORATORY (PMEL), INTENDS TO NEGOTIATE AND AWARD A PURCHASE ORDER, ON A SOLE SOURCE BASIS, UNDER AUTHORITY OF FAR 6.103-1, WITH SEAVIEW SYSTEMS, INC. FOR QUANTITY 3 SVS-603HR WAVE SENSORS TO BE DELIVERED/PERFORMED AT SEATTLE, WA. NO SET ASIDE IS TO BE USED FOR THIS SOLE SOURCE REQUIREMENT. THE ASSOCIATED NAICS CODE IS 334511.

THE SOLE SOURCE DETERMINATION IS BASED ON NOAA’S REQUIREMENT FOR COMPATIBILITY TO EXISTING SYSTEMS OR EQUIPMENT. THE SEAVIEW WAVE SENSOR IS THE ONLY WAVE SENSOR THAT INTEGRATES DIRECTLY WITH THE SEATRAC UNCREWED SURFACE VEHICLE (USV) PLATFORM THROUGH THE EXISTING RS232 BINARY COUMMUNICATION INTERFACE ALREADY IMPLEMENTED IN THE SEATRAC CONTROL AND TELEMETRY SOFTWARE. USING ANOTHER SENSOR WOULD REQUIRE SIGNIFICANT REDESIGN OF THE ONBOARD SOFTWARE, DATA PARSING ROUTINES, AND SYSTEM INTEGRATION, INTRODUCING ADDITIONAL COST, SCHEDULE RISKS, AND POTENTIAL IMPACTS TO OPERATIONAL RELIABILITY. SEAVIEW SYSTEMS, INC. IS THE ONLY VENDOR THAT MANUFACTURES AND DISTRIBUTES THIS SVS-603HR WAVE SENSOR.

THIS PRESOLICITATION NOTICE IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS AND NO SOLICITATION PACKAGE IS AVAILABLE. HOWEVER, FIRMS THAT BELIEVE THEY CAN FULLY MEET THE GOVERNMENT'S REQUIREMENTS MAY SUBMIT SUBSTANTIATING DOCUMENTATION OR A REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IN WRITING TO THE IDENTIFIED POINT OF CONTACT WITHIN 15 DAYS AFTER PUBLICATION OF THIS PRE-SOLICITATION NOTICE.

SUCH REQUESTS AND DOCUMENTATION WILL BE EVALUATED SOLELY FOR THE PURPOSE OF DETERMINING WHETHER OR NOT TO CONDUCT THIS PROCUREMENT ON A COMPETITIVE BASIS. A DETERMINATION BY THE GOVERNMENT NOT TO CONDUCT A COMPETITIVE PROCUREMENT, BASED UPON RESPONSES TO THIS NOTICE, IS SOLELY WITHIN THE DISCRETION OF THE GOVERNMENT. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE IN RESPONSE TO THIS NOTICE.
