Illinois Ave.

Oak Ridge, TN 37831 Description Project/Vessel Title: USN SWATH 40ASC — Networked RCS System Upgrade Place of Performance: Grand Haven, Michigan Period of Performance: Date of Award through September 18, 2027 This requirement is for the procurement of a Networked Ride Control System (RCS) Electronics Renewal Package manufactured by Naiad Dynamics US, Inc.

The system consists of a next-generation Distributed Control System (DCS/NDCS) utilizing a Controller Area Network (CAN) bus architecture.

It functions as an active Total Ride Control System (TRCS) that continuously modulates the vessel's existing canard and stabilizer fins using precision electro-hydraulic servo valves and closed-loop digital feedback.

This upgrade replaces obsolete RCS electronics to mitigate pitch, roll, and heave accelerations, directly reducing operator fatigue and motion sickness while maintaining critical ship stabilization.

Sole Source Justification NOAA has determined that Naiad Dynamics US, Inc. is the sole manufacturer and authorized distributor capable of supplying the specific Networked Ride Control System (RCS) Electronics Renewal Package designed to integrate seamlessly with the vessel's existing stabilization infrastructure.

Official solicitation and documents

The full solicitation, any attachments, and the actual submission instructions live on the official listing, not on this page. Oppward summarizes public record data; it does not host or mirror the source documents.

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.
