Mooring Components

The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Newport (NUWCDIVNPT) is seeking to award a sole source contract to Mooring Systems, Inc. (MSI) for the design and construction of deep-sea moorings. The moorings will be used to assess the effectiveness of antifouling paints and self-polishing coatings to prevent fouling at depth. The contract will include the manufacture and assembly of the moorings and associated components, as well as the supply of replacement parts as needed. • The contract has an anticipated ceiling of $210,000 and a period of performance of 3 years. • The moorings will be used to test the effectiveness of antifouling coatings at depth. • The contract will be awarded on a sole source basis to MSI, who specializes in deep-sea moorings design and construction. • The moorings will be delivered to NUWCDIVNPT by 3 February 2025. • The contract will aid in the assessment of antifouling coating performance at depth and will be critical in the selection of future antifouling coatings.
