Sole Source VectorNav Units

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is intending to negotiate and award a purchase order to VectorNav Technologies for VN-100T-CR Wave Sensors. The sensors will be used to replace old 3DM-GX1 systems and will be delivered to the Stennis Space Center in Mississippi. The VectorNav VN100T-CR is a miniature, high-performance Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and Attitude Heading Reference System (AHRS) that combines 3-axis accelerometers, gyros, and magnetometers into one device. The sensor will be used to modify operational tubes to use the new VN100T-CR sensor. • The VN100T-CR sensor has already been tested and has outperformed other products. • The sensor is compatible with existing systems or equipment. • The procurement is being done on a sole source basis due to the compatibility and performance of the VN100T-CR sensor. • Firms that believe they can fully meet the government's requirements may submit substantiating documentation or a request for additional information in writing.
