Description
The NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center San Diego (FLCSD) intends to award a commercial Sole Source contract to Quartermaster AI, Inc. for the procurement of a 12-month commercial subscription-based Data-as-a-Service (DaaS) model for the SmartMast Maritime Sensor system. The system will be installed onboard the Medium Unmanned Surface Vessel (MUSV) "Sea Hunter" to support Unmanned Surface Vessel Squadron One (USVRON-1) and Carrier Strike Group One (CSG-1) pre-deployment work-ups, training, and operational missions. The contractor will provide hardware installation, satellite data transmission, secure web portal access, programmatic API delivery, training, and subsequent hardware retrieval.
The key aspects of this opportunity include:
• The SmartMast Maritime Sensor system is a highly specialized, proprietary sensor platform that fuses EO/IR cameras, AIS, and RF detection with onboard edge-AI processing.
• The system requires custom software engineering services to integrate the proprietary SmartMast sensor data streams directly into the Navy's Minotaur C2 architecture.
• The contractor must complete the mandatory installation and integration by the critical threshold date of August 10, 2026, to support scheduled fleet operations.
