SOLE SOURCE – Sonar Software and Training

The U.S. Coast Guard intends to award a sole-source contract to Chesapeake Technology, Inc. for the provision of SonarWiz side-scan sonar software and training. The software is required to support mission critical Deployable Specialized Forces (DSF) underwater operations. The contract is valued at $29,000.00. The Coast Guard has determined that Chesapeake Technology is the only authorized seller capable of supplying the required product and services. • The software must be compatible with currently deployed systems. • The contract includes training sessions on the use of the software. • The software will be used for underwater survey data processing and mission critical underwater operations. • The introduction of any other equipment would compromise hardware and software compatibility and would require significant and costly changes to deployed equipment, training, and support protocols.
