WHOI ACOMM Kits

The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Newport (NUWCDIVNPT) intends to award a firm-fixed-price purchase order to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) for acoustic communications (ACOMM) kits. This procurement is categorized under PSC 5845 for underwater sound equipment and NAICS code 334511, which covers search, detection, navigation, guidance, aeronautical, and nautical system and instrument manufacturing. The requirement is being solicited on a sole-source basis because the government has determined that only WHOI can meet the required schedule without incurring unacceptable duplicative costs.

The place of performance is Woods Hole, MA, and the solicitation is identified as N66604-26-Q-0443. While this notice serves as a notice of intent rather than a request for competitive proposals, the agency will consider capability statements, proposals, or quotations submitted by responsible sources to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement in the future. There is no set-aside designated for this requirement.

Responses to this combined synopsis/solicitation are due by June 12, 2026. Detailed specifications and instructions are provided in the attached request for quotation (RFQ) document, titled N6660426P0443 RFQ.docx, which was posted on June 8, 2026. Nico Montanari is the designated point of contact for this federal opportunity.
