All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency. Information received will normally be considered for the purposes of determining whether to conduct a competitive requirement in the future.  

Required delivery is a period of performance December 2024 to October 2029.

This procurement is unrestricted as concurred with by the Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Newport (NUWCDIVNPT) Office of Small Business Programs (OSBP) and Small Business Administration Procurement Center Representative (SBA PCR). The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 541380. The Small Business Size Standard is $19.0 Million.

For information on this acquisition contact Jennifer Vatousiou at jennifer.m.vatousiou.civ@us.navy.mil

The property or services needed by the agency are available from only one responsible source and no other type of property or services will satisfy the needs of the agency.

Due to the lack of contractors with the required expertise to complete this project, this Sole Source Contract will allow for the deployment, pressure treatment, and analysis of biofouling panels from one contractor that has the expertise in the required techniques and areas, and is able to complete the tasks in the study areas within the specified timeframe.  FIT’s CCBC is the only known company that has the expertise, support staff, and facility to assess biofouling and expose it to the required hydrostatic pressures in a warm marine environment. FIT is co-located with the field site which is a requirement to avoid shipping fouled panels. The recommendation is to utilize FIT who has frequently partnered with the Department of Defense and Office of Naval Research on multiple other contracts and demonstrated technical expertise in this field.  

The study requires a pressure chamber suitable to accommodate saltwater and designed to be operated at a maximum pressure of about 450 pounds per square inch (psi; approximately 1,000 ft (300 m]). In addition, this effort requires panels to accumulate biofouling in the winter of 2024 in a warm water environment, as well as the scientific and technical expertise in the analysis of pressure exposed biofouling data, adhesion testing, and biofilm microcopy.  NUWCDIVNPT does not currently have the pressure chamber and personnel skilled in conducting these assessments and analysis. Research into other contractor options were made, however none were identified.  FIT is recognized by ONR as being a Navy biofouling test site and is the only company that has a static immersion site suitable for biofouling investigations in warm waters.

See attached RFQ. 

The purpose of Amendment 0001 is to extend the solicitation closing date from 1/19/2024 @ 2:00pm to 1/26/2024 @ 2:00pm. 

This Sources Sought Notice is being issued in accordance with FAR Part 10, Market Research, to provide information for planning purposes only. This Notice shall not be construed as either a solicitation or obligation on the part of the Government.

In accordance with FAR 5.202(a)(13) the Pre-solicitation Synopsis for this requirement is waived. The solicitation, W912LD25Q0004, is released and attached.

This announcement will be open for less than 30 days, in accordance with FAR 5.203(b).

The Rhode Island Army National Guard (RIARNG) requires supplemental court reporting equipment which possesses capabilities to produce legal transcripts in a complete, end-to-end solution that converts speech to text in real-time with or without continuous commercial internet connection. The equipment must be in compliance with Army Regulation 27-10 (AR 27-10), which prescribes the policies and procedures pertaining to the administration of military justice and implements the Manual for Courts-Martial (MCM), United States, 2024, and the rules for courtsmartial (RCMs) contained in the MCM. To support this initiative, The Rhode Island Army National Guard (RIARNG) requires the purchase of court reporting equipment, specifically known as Eclipse Vox Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) System (EVAS) which is proprietary to the company EVerbatim, Inc. RIARNG intends to award a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) purchase order on a sole source basis to the EVerbatim, Inc. (CAGE Code: 1HLK8). EVAS has capabilities currently not found on other court reporting equipment. EVAS has the capabilities to produce legal transcripts in a complete, end-to-end solution that converts speech to text in real-time with or without continuous commercial Internet connection, making it easily deployable to combat locations. EVAS has the ability to produce near real-time transcripts of recorded audio with a 90-95% accuracy rate. The system permits users to edit transcripts and redact both the audio and the written transcript simultaneously. EVAS is currently the only court reporting system that offers an integrated solution that unifies all hardware and software components necessary to deliver a complete and turnkey court reporting system. EVAS is comprised of software that unifies professionalgrade computer and audio components and unidirectional-wireless digital microphones for the purpose of producing automated legal transcript. EVAS also meets the mandatory requirements of Army Regulation 27-10 (AR 27-10), which stipulates the minimum characteristics required for Army Court Reporting equipment. Eclipse software is one of those mandatory characteristics. The original equipment manufacturer (OEM) / software developers of Eclipse confirmed EVerbatim Inc. is the sole source provider of Eclipse software to the US Armed Forces. Additionally, EVAS is proprietary to EVerbatim Inc., who does not have any resellers. The Army National Guard currently either utilizes a local court reporting service resource, which is not cost effective, or records the transcript manually which takes 3 months to complete and is not efficient. EVAS offers expedited court reporting capabilities, a high rate of accuracy, mobility and the ability to operate without internet making it deployable, as well as the convenience of having all parts sourced from one vendor ensuring compatibility issues are avoided. Currently, EVAS is the only court reporting equipment that meets the AR 27-10 requirements and offers the capabilities required by the Rhode Island Army National Guard. Therefore, EVerbatim Inc. is the only venue able to meet all of the necessary criteria for this requirement. This requirement is being solicited on a sole source basis to EVerbatim Inc., as concurred with by the RIARNG Office of Small Business Programs. This notice is not a request for competitive quotes. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement which will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to complete this acquisition based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
