Scope
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.

How to bid on this
This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.
- Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
- Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
- Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
- Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
