## Description

Description This presolicitation notice is published to announce that Direct Reporting Program Manager for Robotic and Autonomous Systems (DRPM RAS) intends to award a Firm Fixed Price sole-source contract to Advanced Acoustic Concepts, LLC (AAC), 425 Oser Avenue, Hauppauge, NY 11788 (CAGE: 4GPS8) for the procurement of Angler Mine Neutralization Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) Systems, operator consoles, reload kits, depot-level testing, spares, peculiar support equipment, and associated technical, logistics, and software engineering services. This requirement will be negotiated on a sole-source basis in accordance with statutory authority 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.103-1 (RFO) (Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements). The system was matured across prior competitive Office of Naval Research (ONR) Science & Technology (S&T) contracts N00014-18-C-1027 and N00014-21-C-1006, and initial low-rate operational fielding under N66604-24-D-C401. AAC is the original designer, developer, systems integrator, and sole manufacturer of the Angler platform. The Government does not possess a complete, validated Technical Data Package (TDP) suitable for competition production, integration, qualification, and safety certification of the existing Angler configuration. Specifically, the Government has only Limited and Restricted Rights to the core system architecture, including the deep-water 20mm standoff projectile design, gun subsystem, and the proprietary Navigation and Control (NAC) software suite. Award to any other source would result in a substantial duplication of cost to the Government not expected to be recovered through competition and would cause unacceptable developmental and safety-certification delays. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, which shall be considered by the agency. Interested sources shall identify their capability to satisfy the requirement; relevant technical, production, integration, and support experience; and any material assumptions, Government-furnished information, technical-data rights, software rights, interfaces, qualification activities, or transition period necessary to perform. Responses shall be submitted by 1000 on 24 November 2026 to the contacts listed in this posting.
