This is a justification and approval for restricting competition for commercial products and services. The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Rock Island District, is seeking approval to award a firm-fixed-price contract for brand-name-only Lubell Labs, Inc. LL **** HP underwater acoustic transducers. These transducers are essential for the Brandon Road Interbasin Project (BRIP) due to extreme environmental hazards and demanding performance specifications. The government requires 280 units. The contract will be fully funded using FY2023 appropriations. The justification for restricting competition is based on extensive research and testing by USACE's Engineering Research and Development Center (ERDC), which determined that only the specified brand name item meets the unique combination of extreme durability and specific acoustic performance required. The transducers must operate continuously in hostile conditions, withstand impacts from debris, and resist corrosion. They must also deliver a powerful, targeted acoustic signal to deter invasive species. The estimated cost of replacing a single failed unit is significant, requiring river closure and specialized teams. Amendments have been issued to update specifications, add testing requirements, and extend the quote receipt date.
The bid notice does not explicitly state a delivery deadline for the transducers. However, amendment **** extended the due date for receipt of quotes to May 15, 2026.
Amendment **** provides additional information regarding the evaluation criteria, but the specific criterion is not detailed in the provided text.
The estimated total value for this contract is $3,800,****.

Shark Marine Nav Tablet II Underwater Navigation System
AI helper
The US Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) at Camp Lejeune, NC, intends to award a sole source purchase order to Shark Marine Technologies Inc. for the Shark Marine Nav Tablet II Underwater Navigation System. This system is critical for subsurface navigation, sonar integration, and situational awareness for special operations forces dive operations. Market research indicates that while other companies offer navigation software or components, Shark Marine is the only provider offering a form factor specifically designed for DPV mounting with integrated features and ergonomics that meet MARSOC's specialized operational needs. Procuring alternative systems would require significant training contract setup and would not meet the immediate timeline and budget constraints for upcoming evaluation exercises. The current dive locker employs legacy Shark Marine tablets, ensuring a seamless transition. The estimated contract price is $88,****, with a potential total value of $90,**** Defense, the only authorized reseller, has a lead time of five months and two weeks.
