The Department of Commerce, specifically the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), intends to negotiate a sole-source contract with Exail, Inc. for the procurement of gyrocompass replacement parts for the NOAA vessel Pisces. The requirement arises from NOAA's need for highly reliable, maintenance-free gyros to reduce downtime and eliminate maintenance costs associated with existing mechanical gyros, as Exail's fiber optic gyros offer a mean time between failure (MTBF) of 150,000 hours, significantly surpassing competitors. The NOAA fleet, which conducts vital oceanographic research and hydrographic surveys, has standardized on Exail gyrocompasses to ensure accurate navigation data, as mandated by the Coast and Geodetic Survey Act. Interested parties who believe they can meet the government's requirements may submit documentation to Michelle Walton at michelle.walton@noaa.gov within 15 days of this notice, as no solicitation package is available.
