SPAWARSYSCEN Atlantic, Charleston, SC intends to issue a request for proposal(RFP) for the delivery and installation of the next generation HydrographicMultibeam Replacement Sonar System for the Naval Oceanographic Office(NAVOCEANO). This system will replace the existing multibeam echosoundersaboard Hydrographic Survey Launches (HSLs) and Autonomous UnderwaterVehicles (AUVs). The new system is to provide significantly greater spatialresolution, accuracy, coverage, and depth range. The proposed system andlife-cycle support services shall include, but not be limited to the following:manufacturing and delivery of an estimated 25 systems which includesequipment spares, installation, integration, training, and testing. Thefollowingis a list of minimum performance capabilities as specified in the draftPerformance Work Statement (PWS)/Statement of Work (SOW): (1) Dual-frequency capability, nominally 200 / 400 khz. (2) Swath width: minimum 125degrees. (3) Beamwidths: TX nominal 0.5 degree, RX nominal 1.0 degree.(4) Pole, hull, and AUV mountable configurations. (5) Capable of 100% alongtrack coverage for all depths up to 10 kts. (6) Beam density, capable of 400beams per ping. Beam modes including equal-distant spaced and equal-anglespaced. (7) Optional configuration for dual-head, simultaneous operation. (8)Roll and pitch stabilized. (9) Meets or exceeds latest IHO standards ofuncertainty and feature detection for all orders with special order down to 40meters depth. (10) User interfaces and controls to ensure real-time survey

(9) Meets or exceedslatest IHO standards of uncertainty and feature detection for all orders withspecial order down to 40 meters depth. (10) User interfaces and controls toensure real-time survey quality with minimal intervention. (11) Automatedbottom tracking and sonar control. (12) Beamformed imagery/backscatteravailable. (13) Data acquisition and system control to external governmentcomputer systems via Ethernet LAN. (14) Operate within normal depth range of0.5m to 400m. (15) Interfaces to external government sensors via serialRS232 and Ethernet (navigation, attitude, sound velocity, time sync). The Government anticipates award of an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity,Firm-Fixed-Price type contract. The procurement will be conducted under fulland open competition on an unrestricted basis. The applicable size standard is750 employees. The estimated release date for the formal RFP is 17 August2009. It is the offeror's responsibility to monitor this site for the releaseof theRFP and amendments (if any). Potential offerors will be responsible fordownloading their own copy of the RFP and amendments. No paper distributionof these documents will be provided.
